I think the burden of proof lies with someone proving that a neighborhood which is demonstrably safe - just look at the police blotter in the Spec - is somehow unsafe, and deserves fearmongering like your post.
Want to prove you're not just making idle speculation (which also happens to be scary and, like creationism, not a testable hypothesis)? Crunch the numbers. They're right there.

And I think the burden of proof lies with you to proof that it's safe. And I'm not sure how a police blotter in the Spec proves that a neighborhood is demonstrably safe.
I posted about where I'd personally rather be at 3am on a Saturday night. I'm sure some numbers somewhere might say something you want it to say, but there's lies, damn lies, and statistics.
NYC is very safe in general, and I'd feel safe almost everywhere, including certain parts of MSH. I'd have no problem walking down Bway and getting a slice of pizza at Koronets at 3am and coming back, but I wouldn't walk up to 125th and Amsterdam.
