well it depends on what you consider bad. for someone that lives in a homogenous area this would seem like living in a foreign country. But this is a major metropolitan area, and it is extremely common to have tons of people from all over. We lived not that far from this area, yes there are asian gangs, supposedly and i had heard of crime related to that sort of activity. Never encountered any sort of problems personally. But heck, i was a Latin American studies major undergrad and i had a salvadoran babysitter watching my kids and she lived in that area. So i am looking at it a bit differently than the xenophobes.

I know what you mean, things get blown out of proportion, IMO.

It gives fodder to the doom and gloomers.
