In light of the recent tragedy in USC. before you rent an apt in any US city
, please google Crime Map of that city
and scan the crime of that neighborhood where you plan to rent a house/apt
choose the one that is safe and secure
For example, below is the NYC and LA crime map http://www.spotcrime.com/ny/new%20york http://www.lapdonline.org/crime_prevention/content_basic_view/4
In big cities, never ever go to bad neighborhood.
这些区,大部分是黑人区,谋杀警察不会管的,破案率极低,非常危险。
some kids even play with guns.
