All true. But I did get my MacBook Pro swiped here...of course that was in Roppongi at 3 AM The other night I was walking home alone, thoroughly pissed through Inokashira koen at around 2 AM. I kept thinking this is gonna be my time. Kept looking over my shoulder. In the end, nuthin' happened...just like always. But I have heard of guys getting jumped by young toughs and girls of all races have an assault or groping story to tell. [7] Correct. All true.

Lots of other social problems here too, just not street crime. Lost all my street smarts now,if move back to Brooklyn would be robbed first time I fell asleep on the subway am sure! From what I read though NYC still the safest big city in America, right? (7) oh for sure. Lots of other social problems here too, just not street crime.

Not a fair comparison. I would hate having to always have the street sense tuned. Tough with kids. You don't have to leave the city, maybe the neighborhood?

But kids from all backgrounds are going to the same public schools and day cares now. That wasn't happening ten years ago. The best local school is dual language, every other day in Spanish. If the edge is there it's certainly less than it was. [3] Perhaps. But kids from all backgrounds are going to the same public schools and day cares now. That wasn’t happening ten years ago.

I always felt a little edge there, though I could be imagining that.

Our neighborhood has some muggings, but overall, it's not bad as far as the city goes. I'm sure there are better and much worse neighborhoods. And shit happens everywhere. Most of the worst stuff making headlines is out in the burbs. But everyone in New York has to deal with the fact that crime is happening right next to you. That proximity can wear on you over the years. [1] Thanks Al. Our neighborhood has some muggings, but overall, it’s not bad as far as the city goes.
