Yah Norfolk is a real chit hole. Actually, that entire part of virginia around the ches. bay area is a chit hole. What about Newport News or Hampton? My family is from Norfolk. Nasty.

My family is from here, too. Only reason I am here, but I am moving to Charlottesville within the next three years, hopefully on the soon end of that range.

Conclusion, based on the first .pdf: Fewer people can afford to raise a family in SF, explaining the good numbers.

Of course, raw numbers would have been useful as well as percentages.

CDC live births by County and City, 2000.

Wow. Cleveland sucks. All of these indicators correlate with crime and education. Also, on another part of that site you can look at all of these results on a line graph and compare them to other regions over at least 12 years, for even more depressive goodness.

East Cleveland is the second scariest ghetto ive ever been in

Right behind this doosey

Why would you ever go to either of those two places?

[B Dids]

Define "worst" in the phrase "worst minority class".

Are you talking in terms of actions or in terms of just the situation in which they live?

[Chobohoya]

The two are inextricably linked.

San Diego is an interesting city because it is so spread out. I do not feel uncomfortable at all leaving my door unlocked while I am out for a few hours despite the fact that there are quite a few homeless people running around Pacific Beach. There are some some super swanky areas and some typical suburban areas.

There are, however, some really shitty areas. But, because the most problematic areas are in southeast San Diego, about a half hour away, there is a huge disconnect for many people. I know kids who have gone to school here for 4 years and have never seen San Diego's ghettos.

All in all, I can't imagine many other major US cities that I would feel safer in.
