Is Your Neighborhood Safe? Clean? Dangerous? Ghetto?

What can you say about your environment, society and economy in your neighborhood. Is it safe to go outside or not? Do you have great people around to be with or tend to be cautious to look behind you? Is the crime rate low or high? I live in San Diego and pretty much the area is quiet and clean. The usual crimes people commit here are driving fast and receiving tickets. But then again there are murders that happen seldom or robberies that occur seldom. It depends because up north of San Diego tends to be mildly dangerous. How about your area?

In my neighborhood it is prety safe but I always keep my eyes open. I live in a small town and its pretty peaceful, not a lot of crime. Like you its mainly just traffic tickets. It's safe for the kids to go out but I still go out with them, you never know what can happen in a blink of an eye.

I live in Aruba,and i can tell you it's the safest place you can be on earth,even tourist think so.The crime rate extremely low,robberies happens every day but no one gets hurt.Murders is the lowest,last time a people was killed was two months ago.WE can have 4 or 5 murders a year.
Our island is clean,it must be clean becasue tourist visit our island regularly.
The economy of Aruba is an open system, with tourism currently providing the largest percentage of the country's income.Over 1.5 million tourists per year visit Aruba, with 75% of those from the US.
The whole year here feels like summer,you can say it never rains here.We are outside the hurricane belt,hurricane always pasess far away north of us.
Since a girl from Mountain Brook, Alabama named Natalee Holloway got lost 2 years ago whe have gotten a bad name,people say aruba isnt safe anymore.
