Thank you for posting this aswedc. This information should be a wake up call to everyone. Anybody who's a tourist and thinking of visiting these two places--don't. But if you ignore my advice and decide to go there at night, always walk in the middle of the street (not the sidewalk), go directly to your destination without leaving the main drag, and carry mace (bring multiple cans if necessary).

The annual list of the most dangerous cities in America is out again and the Bay Area is well represented. A variety of news stories on the study can be found easily enough on Google News.
Any thoughts on why there is such a serious crime problem within close proximity to one of the wealthiest and most educated cities in the world?

...What the hell? Do you mean on the center divider, or actually in the middle of the road? Because not very many roads in Oakland have center dividers, and at any rate that's extremely dangerous. |
