Oh, no doubt. LA is a big place, and some bits are clearly nicer than others, but I guess I was just trying to point out that crime can happen anywhere for any number of reasons. You're more likely to get robbed in South LA than in Santa Monica, absolutely, but you can stay reasonably safe in both places by just doing a few simple things, like keeping valuables, especially smartphones out of sight at all times, walking with a bit of purpose, and making sure to straight up avoid places at certain hours.
Interesting line about SFPD though. I wasn't aware they were so inept.
- carguy1983 15y agoI agree - East LA, South LA, all are not nearly as safe as West LA. My main point is that West LA, as a whole (and by that, I mean you never have to leave it), is safer than SF, which is more akin to taking the different east/west/south LA's and packing them all together into one peninsula. In other words the bad parts are impossible to avoid. Having said that, the restaurant food in SF is better on average (LA = driving to eat good food) and of course there's more/better/bigger tech companies/activity in the bay. :)
