<p>I never said, nor implied, that westwood was a neighborhood that was impervious from crime. But how about we not be naive and say ‘well it happens everywhere, so USC is no special case.’ To try to say, or imply, that crimes occur with the same frequency in westwood as they do in south L.A. is completely absurd. If that were true, there’d be no reason to live in the west side as opposed to South L.A. This is clearly not the case. </p>
<p>It’s also worth citing that many crimes happen that simply go unreported, including robberies. Although as an indirect result of this, there’s no evidence to support them. I know what i know, and that neighborhood isn’t a good one, and you’re not going to convince me of otherwise. This isn’t something i believe because i go to UCLA, this is something i believed way before i went there; and imo, any claims to the contrary are pretty absurd.</p>
