However, if teenagers getting into mischief is my worst crime problem I'm OK.

I third that. The emo kids really annoy me. I'm starting to see them in my neighborhood. I see them stand outside the movie theatre for hours doing nothing. When I see those kids, I'm reminded of why I want to be there for my kids and actually raise them with some ambition. Seriously, we played sports growing up. What the heck are these teenagers doing loitering at the movies and Barnes and Noble for hours?

I lived in East Mesa right next to Gilbert, and Chandler, off Guadalupe and it was fine. We never had any crime problems . Good neighbors. Nice and quiet. I would not say it is bad there. My mother lived right up the road in Gilbert as well off Guadalupe past country club, and they also have no problems.

Now you go a little further north , in that area of Mesa around Country Club past Southern, it is another story.
