I wouldn't let anyone I love even go as far as Los Angeles.
I simply pointed out that Nevada's major cities of Reno and Las Vegas have substantially more crime per capita than does Los Angeles.
I have a soft spot for LAPD, that's all and I like to set the record straight.
And yes, Mexico is a very dangerous place...I'd rather juggle chain saws than be forced to travel there.
Maybe my line of demarcation was not far enough south. I was just trying to make a point. I have been to Los Angeles many times. I have only been to Las Vegas once.
And for the record Northern Nevada is a great place to live if you love the outdoors. We have our problems but most are caused by an influx of bad characters.
