Everyone knows about that demographic, it just can't be discussed. The good news is as long as you are careful to live in areas where that demographic doesn't and stay out of areas where that demographic does live and operate, almost any major metropolitan area can be quite safe. There's no need to think "Orlando, ohmygawd, it's a cesspool!" because it isn't. And the influx of illegal aliens is actually having the minor beneficial side-effect of breaking up and dispersing a lot of those traditional disaster areas. The illegals often bring crime problems of their own, but not with the same level of violence.
This kind of reporting is what fools a lot of Europeans into thinking all of America is a crime and shooting-infested hellhole - we would think the same thing if they ran articles like "London Set to Shatter Homicide Record"...but, perhaps thinking of the tourist money, they seldom do. ;)
Ha ha. So true. Hmm, anyone that lives in central Florida knows light skinned people don't go down to Church street and the Trail at midnight. Well, I've been through there at night many time in my younger days, but I didn't slow down.
How about this, go to major city and see what section of town they build the sports stadium in. Yeah, where the property is cheapest. Use your imagination.
Personally, I am very glad to be out of Central Florida. It sucks major league, but that kind of crime is not the reason. It's much too localized in a bad area. And Orlando proper is not the tourist area. It's south of Orlando down to Kissimmee.
The whole area is a stinking ant hill. If it was crime free it would still suck. I went to HS there in the late 60's, and it was a beautiful area and nice town.
Those days are gone forever....over a long time ago, oh yeah.
