Yes, my city has gang problems. It used to be a nice small town in So. Cal. It's grown quite a bit over the last three years and so have the problems. This last year there were three murders due to gang violence. These crimes were committed right in public against high school kids who were not in gangs. It's been very sickening. 70 plus points

I had to read too much for this question.. But I will say yes, but the community leaders say no because they want the housing prices to stay high, and they smile collect their paycheck..

No problems. I live in a small farming community of about 1,200 and it is relatively quiet.

My city of around 50,000 is less than 20. I would imagine drugs can be found anywhere.

This just goes to show how desperate people are to say they live in a bad area. Sad.
