The IE all around is pretty bad, but its a big area. We moved out of our old neighborhood in San Bernardino because there was a series of homicides and home invasions targeting white families with nice cars. We were one of the few white families in the area, which I've been accustomed to but 3 dead within 2 miles was too much. The area I'm in now is pretty nice, most millionaires tied down to this region live on this hill. The town also has a massive cycling community. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those millionaires.

We always talk about moving but both of us have good jobs, I have an amazing retirement (80% at 60), and a good home. It's hard to walk away from all that.

We were in Boston last week and stayed in a 'bad' area (Dorchester) which other than stray pit bulls all over the place was nice. Once you've visited West Oakland, the bar for bad neighborhoods is pretty high.
