BTW,I have been in East LA thousands upon thousands of time. It is not bad at all. As well as having some of best Mexican food establishments anywhere.

- I’ve been to “bad” parts of Miami (upon visiting Fla in 1991), “bad” neigborhoods of London (like Brixton in the 1980s) as well as the worst parts of Berlin, Naples, Copenhagen, Malmö, Manchester, Copenhagen etc several of times.
There is, indeed, a good reason why these neighborhoods have a bad name, but in the media things tend to get blown out of proportion like we all know.
I once had a jolly good walk in the slums of Istanbul past midnight and while doing so I didn’t see a trace of crime anywhere (Turkish police are known for being overly brutal, but effective, they say). I wouldn’t exactly recommend lone women to do so, but often the real dangers confronting us in life do not appear where we expect to find them (not meaning to say enemies of Western Civilization like Islamism and Communism are no major threats).
I’m sure I’ll enjoy eating my way through East LA.
