I live far to the north of Vegas.
Thats why I asked if you lived in Neveada. I was comparing Nevada's major city to Cal's major city.
Oh, and Reno, your northern major city? It too has more crime per capita than does Los Angeles. As a matter of fact, it has more crime in 5 out of the 7 major crime categories than does Los Angeles.
The point of my first comment was to advise someone to not let his niece and her church group go to Mexico. It is very dangerous down there right now. Can we agree on that? I'm sorry I brought Los Angeles into the mix. Okay?
