That's not what I meant by the post you quoted.

Lake Elsinore has all the fuguitive dust from the Aggregrate/Clay across the street (the city held a meeting a couple of weeks ago, see the Press Enterprise artical DUST IN THE WIND). We do know that in my area there is fugitive dust (from the quarry, what is in the dust), also methane gas, arsenic, lead and who knows what else. Have you ever wondered what's under your house??????

Speaking of Meth doesn't the I.E. have one of the highest uses of meth in the United States, crime is horrid all over the I.E. including Lake Elsinore's Alberhill Ranch, the community should list all the crimes, but they don't. Looks better when you are attempted to sell Ghetto homes.

You really sound like a broken record.
It's gotten very tiring.

Very true...I gave you a rep!

Thanks for all of the input from everyone. I think I have a general idea of some of the safer areas in the Inland Empire (of which there seems to be plenty) and the other potentially less safe areas which are best to avoid at night. Are there any areas in IE as bad as say.. Compton in Los Angeles.. where you basically should not get out of your car and walk around?

Best example would be the OK Corral Ostrich farm that used to be in Apple Valley, but got moved to Oro Grande back in '04-'05.
(mostly)New residents bought up land around the farm and then began to complain about the sounds and so-called, messes, that the birds were making.
City stepped in, kicked them out, and now the place sits empty while the landowners figure out what to do with it.

It's not so much that developers are forcing them to sell their land, but more of the transplants making complaints to the city council that in turn work against the other land-owner.

I believe Lake Elsinore in particular Alberhill Ranch where I live is the worse place to be in the I.E. at night. There are so many reasons, I can't list them all. People should be aware of how dangerous it is over here, the city really tell ya.

I believe Lake Elsinore is worse than Compton, Lake Elsinore is GHETTO that's for sure.

That would **** me off as well. The new people coming in demanding changes, I mean.

So a city with a median income that is nearly $63,000 is as ghetto as Compton? You are telling me that your McMansion in your McPlanned community is the same, or worse, than Compton? Really?

I get it, we all get it. You hate where you live. Then MOVE.

That guy has the most virulent case of buyer's remorse I've ever seen.

As far as LE being worse than Compton, in LE I have no hesitation to stroll my white behind at night in the downtown section, walking to and from whatever restaurant (usually Guadalajara's, Ravioli's or Rusticana) I dine at. Cars aren't allowed on the main drag, so there's always a walk involved from whatever back street lot the car gets parked in.
