Crime in border cities has actually decreased (US side) in recent years. El Paso is actually one of the safest cities in the US.Keith B wrote:Not that familiar with Laredo myself, but as Carlson stated the crime rate in the border towns is skyrocketing. One fact to consider is the cost of living for CA or MA is going to be WAY higher. You will definitely have more to do in those locations and as RoyGBiv stated there is a LOT of great history in Boston. My niece and nephew are MIT grads and stated there to live and work in Cambridge. They love it, but is not for me. I personally would choose MA over CA, but that is my personal preference.
Good luck to you on your investigation!!
I would suggest a little Google effort. You will see the perception of crime in Laredo doesn't match reality.
