Unsafe areas
Do we have a list of areas in Texas that should not be visited?
Re: Unsafe areas
You mean unsafe as in dangerous? Just watch the news.
Most inner city areas.

The Leglistature in Austin is pretty dangerous...

Re: Unsafe areas
Yes that is what I mean. I am looking for more specifics, I hope to build a list of areas to drive around rather than thru. I was thinking that it would be a good step to a safer lifestyle as I do alot of driving.frazzled wrote:You mean unsafe as in dangerous? Just watch the news.

Re: Unsafe areas
i think the list would be much shorter if it only listed "safe areas"

Re: Unsafe areas
I guess I should have specified "hot" areas ... not entire cities. I am trying to put together a list of areas that should be avoided as best as you can. If it can keep one person from having to deal with a cruddy area than it will have served it purpose. I understand that things happen in all types of areas and neighborhoods. I also know that there are some areas where it happens more often than others.

100% on Houston. LOL.
But really, perception is subjective (obviously) and weighted.
And if you have to drive into an area (as I do for my job), carry if you can.
Realistically, a web based, community driven information source could never keep up with the daily changes in crime patterns. IMO

Re: Unsafe areas
killerfly, it sounds like you are wanting to build a map based on the crime rates in particular areas. Well here you go:
http://www.spotcrime.com/tx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's really interesting to play around on that website. After you select a city, there are "push pins" that pinpoint particular crimes, down to the street level.

Re: Unsafe areas
Houston, anywhere south of F.M. 1960.
Not safe enough?
Then try Conroe, anywhere south of Hwy. 105.
