My neighbourhood is pretty safe. I live just by a hospital so you might risk getting run over by a ambulance. Or possibly run over by a crazy student on a bike, but apart from that not much happens.

I agree with you java! It's better to live on a safe place than living a very beautiful place where all the danger is near along beside you. Then one good thing is you are near with a hospital. That's why if in case that there is a accident you will easily go to do hospital and cure.

I can nearly jump to the hospital from my veranda :-) The dangerous thing in my town is if you go out, get drunk and end up in a fight. Or just happens to go past the wrong drunk people when you're out.

Our neighborhood really isn't dangerous. We live in a neighborhood primarly inhabited by students so it can be a tad rowdy at times but it's not really bad. We haven't had anything really happen in this part of town to anyone bad. There are actually more bad things happening across the street to the students late at night but not around my apartment.

Here in our place, I know our neighborhood is not dangerous because we are sharing good moments with them. Then sometimes when they have some food they share it to us and in return we usually share foods when we have. Then when theres a party we are always invited and we are treated not just like a neighbor but a FAMILY. I'm sure when your neighbor is like our neighbors, I'm sure you will never think that they are dangerous.

I have the safest neighbourhood by all standards. Most are young couples with their brood involved with your own life and some are seniors doing social work. I dont find any drunkards, no one raises their voices - in other words - peace lovers except for one old hag who has no control over her tongue.

I don't consider anywhere to be truely "safe". Every place has the poticial for danger. Our complex is a prime example of that, but I'm not going to let it scare me off or anything like that. Its not worth being paranoid over. At least not in my opinion. No matter where you are, danger could strike. Its how you deal with it when confronted by it.

I think where ever people do live,they are used to it.People that live in the city are used to hearing about the crime.My neighborhood is very safe and quiet.

I think our neighborhood is pretty safe. The area is really really quiet. Families out with their kids at the park all times of the day - even during the week.

hi java no not at all they are some of the most friendly and most peaceful law abiding people I know. I am in Little Saigon, a district in Garden Grove city, and these vietnamese people are very industrious and quiet, friendly and very family oriented. I am very impressed as a caucasian living in this area for they' take care of their elderly in their own homes they do not send them to nursing homes at all like so many Americans do. We hardly ever see a cop car around here nor hear any disturbances at all. no family fights, no drunks. very peaceful.

Where I currently live, my neighborhood is relatively quiet and sometimes I do see a police car parked on the next block. Where I used to live, about three blocks away, police would be around there arresting someone. One time when I was asleep I got woken it up pretty badly hearing gunshots going off. It was so loud and my husband had to calm my nerves to get me to go back to sleep. Needless to say I moved away from there. But where I am, no one really hangs outside. Even during the summer, the kids play in the park on the next block but head home when it starts getting late.

Neighbors can be very dangerous and some can be a good friends also. Here in my place our neighbors are our best enemies because they envy my family, they want us to suffer and they want to see us down. We don't have neighbors that are good to us, we seldom have fre3inds around because some of them became traitors.

My family is living in a safe community. There had been no reported crimes for quiet sometime now as compared to other communities around us. It is because all the community members and the homeowners have been participating and have a full cooperation to the good of the community. I cannot say its a perfect one but the good thing is that we are safe, the neighborhood are friendly and the community is clean and happy.

My neighborhood falls in the category of being half-safe. I live in a subdivision and if you ever walk down our street, for sure, you will be chased by 4 small but very angry dogs. These 2 sets of dogs have owners that live across each other. They are very aware how their dogs behave. They will apologize but still, they let their dogs out. And pity those who will walk down the street.. You don't need to look suspicious or do anything... because even if you're just walking, they will chase you... the four of them. There were lots of people who were chased by these dogs and no amount of angry words or talking calmly to the owners did any good. They still let them out unleashed! I won't be surprised if one day, one of these dogs will end up badly hurt. My next door neighbor who was also chased by these dogs, threatened to bash the dogs heads the next time they chase him. I don't want to see those dogs hurt even if they have chased me ( I thought I was going to have a heart attack that night!)I hope their owners realize that they should be more responsible with their pets. I also have a dog and Ashley is a German Shepherd breed. She's a large dog so I know my responsibilities. Most of my neighbors are wary of her size and that's why I always make sure that people who see her, won't need to feel threatened.

my city has a reputation for extremely dangerous. and yes there are a lot of murders and muggings, and i remember one former flatmate getting violent racist abuse (the local troublemakers thought he was pakistani. he was in fact spanish which gives you a rough idea of the troublemakers iq). however it is actually safer for women than men, as the usual thugs do not harass girls. this is probably because they are all very young men and scared.

The place I live is very peaceful and it's very safe. Even if you go out in the late night their is no danger. Yes sometime I heard of bad news but these are very few as everything can not be good.

I am living in a subdistrict within about 20 buildings. Most of people have lived here for 6 years at least, even someone be here all of their lifes~Here is one of the few subdistricts in the city center. Convinent traffic and neighboring mall?hospital?square and so on. May be more people creat more polution?noise and complicated relatives, all above makes me feel a little bit uncomfotable.
