Going out isn't bad at all, but coming back that road is pretty dang busy. But after many a recon ride, I'm on the MUP for at least 60% of the ride and have bike lanes on most of the other roads except the last leg in.

As as far as "bad" neighborhoods go, there really aren't any I wouldn't want to be caught in on my commute.
