[quote=sdrealtor]I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia. On the nightly news, stories of murders on the streets of West and North Philly were practically a daily occurence. Baja sounds alot safer than the Philly I remember.[/quote]

No kidding.

My husband owned a home in the Frankfurt neighborhood. Gunfire was not common, but not uncommon, either.

A good friend was doing her undergrad work at U Penn during the late 70’s / early 80’s. The Rizzo and Goode era. U Penn is in a sketchy part of West Philly. To make matters worse, my friend is black. She wasn’t sure whether to be more afraid of the local thugs or the cops… both were pretty darn scary.
