Hmm, Greg has a point about bad neighborhoods, but I live in a "nice"
neighborhood--high rent, mixed races and religions.  I haven't had any scary
experiences, except for those times that a strange man catches up with me and
makes conversation (and sometimes proposes something more intimate) and reminds
me that I shouldn't be walking home alone.  I realize they're just being 
friendly (and probably beer-filled), but why do they feel they have to remind
me I shouldn't be out alone after dark?  The ONLY time I get hassled is by
people like this.  So nice of them to remind me to be scared in an environment
I've walked safe in for 10 years; their behavior is certainly reinforcing of
their reminder.

Fools' paradise, maybe.
