[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell your son not to stand in front of windows and not to flash money, electronics or jewelry and he'll be fine. I live in a shitty area of my city and it's all I can afford (downsizing isn't possible - it's already tiny as hell). But it's clean and not cluttered and I have good snacks. DD has friends over all the time. [/quote]
of course, absolutely, just because you live in a low income area doesn't mean your place cannot be clean and tidy, and you have good snacks.

I grew up in tiny house, and it was always clean.  But, I would also be concerned during pickup.  I got lost in a dangerous neighborhood once; took the wrong freeway exit. I'm a fairly street savvy person having grown up in a blue collar area and went to a rough HS, but I was pretty nervous driving around there, especially at night.[/quote]

Okay. You were nervous, but nothing bad happened. Same with me in my shitty area - do I see people shooting up and occasionally have to step over homeless people? Sure. Is that dangerous in and of itself? No. I once accidentally walked between two gang rivals who had guns out. They both just indicated for me to pass. [/quote]
but, high crime area means statistically you have a higher chance of something bad happening to you if you go to a neighborhood as an outsider.

The gangs let you pass, but they could have also easily shot you as collateral damage.  There are plenty of stories of someone being shot because they got caught in between rival gangs.[/quote]
