Saying Oakland, Vallejo, and Richmond are dangerous is like saying Metairie, Kenner and Gretna are dangerous. Are they different cities? Yes, but in reality they are all San Fran, just parts you know not to go to, the Bay Area is just as dangerous as any other urban area, calling it totally safe is ignorant.

A0so, no one from New Orleans can ever criticize any city for how bad their crime rate is. My parents were across the street (at a steakhouse) from the shooting in lakeview (at a Susan Spitzer restaurant,) I mean christ, nowhere in this city is safe for any person.

Funny you should say that. The wife and I were going to Rite Aid and was like wtf is going on. We made a couple u turns trying to see and as soon as I saw an officer with a homicide jacket on, I knew what was up. Lakeview???Really?? I love my city but it is going to ****. No where seems safe anymore. Ever since the hurricane, bad people have been spread out all over now.

Umm, Metairie, Kenner, and Gretna are dangerous and over the lake is dangerous too.
My experience in N.O. and the surrouding areas and in visiting other cities/states and in the two other states I lived is that you take your precautions. You do not have a false sense of security.
Meaning for example: stay with the flow of people (tourists), put money descretly in handbag, don't carry big handbags to events, stay in the tourists areas, get a home security alarm system, don't go in certain areas, don't drive in certain areas, just don't advertise yourself.
