What about moving to a nicer area? Is it possible? Can you manage a move in the opposite direction?
In fact if you feel brave enough to post the location, i'd be curious to see what it looks like via google street view
I think I know the neighborhood and I would hate to see one bad incident color judgement against it. A number of our urban neighborhoods would probably be considered hoods by those making a judgement on apparence alone. Most, once you start talking to neighbors, have a pretty engaged community trying to increase safety, spur development, start blockwatches and promote a community.
