I wouldn't go south of 11th street after dark. Crime is up in the summer, which is to be expected when 14 million tourons hit down in mid-May. The thing to keep in mind if you go looking at crime stats is it's based on the number of residents. Well, that per-capita number is going to get destroyed with the tourist industry, and it'll appear that crime is very high. In reality, it's about the same as any big city during tourist season.

Most of the crime I saw as part of the news industry was related to bad people doing things they shouldn't be doing.

That said, someone stole a bicycle off my enclosed front porch when I was sitting in my living room, and a neighbor scared off someone from ripping off a scooter I took to work when it was really nice out.
