8/24    Before one moves to a foreign city (or another U.S. city for that
        matter), is there a way to find out which neighborhoods are nice,
        run down, safe, or dangerous if you don't know someone already
        living there?
        \_ Many county and municipal Law Enforcement departments publish crime
           statistics in a variety of formats.  Contra Costa has a clickable
           map on its website.
           http://www.cocosheriff.org/crime_statistics/crime_statistics.htm
           http://www.cocosheriff.org/crime_statistics/crime_stat_maps/stats_clyde_un_concord.htm
           http://tinyurl.com/4w668
        \_ For inside the U.S., go to http://msn.com, click on Buy a House -> Compare
           Cities.
        \_ It's very odd in LA, it's hard to tell by looking sometimes.
             -- ilyas
        \_ Check the housing prices.
           \_ Concur. It's not a 100% indicator when comparing downtown to
              a suburb (the suburb may actually be nicer and cheaper, but
              obviously farther) but it's a good start when comparing apples
              to apples.
        \_ Most of these methods operate on at most a per-zip code granularity.
           So none of them work well when there is variety within a zip code.
           In Sacramento, for example, conditions vary on an almost street-
           by-street basis.
           \_ And the houses on the better streets will cost more.
        \_ Just look for those minorities around. If you see em, you know
           it's a bad neighborhood. Man this is a boring motd entry.
           \_ Most of the residents in the Sunset and Richmond districts in SF
              are Chinese Americans.  Neither district seem to be bad
              neighborhood.
              \_ The Chinese are not a minority.  Just ask UC administration.
                 \_ Asians - the other white people!

        going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0).  Is this a trend on
