I have lived in many states, (RI, VT, IL, OH, ME, FL) and they ALL have problem areas/cities.... Like anywhere else, you need to research the area before you rent/buy. It doesn't so much have to do with the city and state govt. as it does the residents of the community, economy, etc. In fact (as I believe)_ governments that are TOO involved often shovel so many "free" handouts to people- that it does nothing but keep them dependent on the govt.- and in govt housing...which is often where you will fid your 'bad' neighborhoods. I live in the Brickell neighborhood- which is very nice and pretty safe (and you can find reasonable rent rates)....but you don't have to travel far (AT ALL) to feel like you practically in a different country....like a 3rd world one. Overtown seems to frequently have daytime incidents involving the spaying of bullets. Just be smart- know where to go (and where not to)...and know that every city has its problems.
