One of which, is the old refrain of " that never happens here" is pretty false. It can happen anywhere any neighborhood.
This is true, but I'd bet it happens in "good" neighborhoods a lot less frequently than in "bad".
Here's an analogy that might clear up my thoughts on picking a "good " neighborhood: Many of us buy new cars, so we don't have to worry about the repairs that we have to do on older cars (like mine). Why do we do this? Malfunctions happen to new and old cars, so why get a new one? The answer of course is that malfunctions are a lot less frequent in new cars. Well at least foreign-made ones.
