Unsafe areas

[killerfly128]

Do we have a list of areas in Texas that should not be visited?

You mean unsafe as in dangerous? Just watch the news.
Most inner city areas.
On the road by yourself and broke down.
The Leglistature in Austin is pretty dangerous...

Yes that is what I mean. I am looking for more specifics, I hope to build a list of areas to drive around rather than thru. I was thinking that it would be a good step to a safer lifestyle as I do alot of driving.

East Austin.

Pretty much anywhere in Metro Houston ...... or on the North side of Broadway in Galveston.

i think the list would be much shorter if it only listed "safe areas"

[killerfly128]

I guess I should have specified "hot" areas ... not entire cities. I am trying to put together a list of areas that should be avoided as best as you can. If it can keep one person from having to deal with a cruddy area than it will have served it purpose. I understand that things happen in all types of areas and neighborhoods. I also know that there are some areas where it happens more often than others.

I thought these "gun-free" places were supposed to be safe.

Fair Park area of Dallas.

[PappaGun]

Pretty much anywhere in Metro Houston

100% on Houston. LOL.

But really, perception is subjective (obviously) and weighted.

And if you have to drive into an area (as I do for my job), carry if you can.

Realistically, a web based, community driven information source could never keep up with the daily changes in crime patterns. IMO

killerfly, it sounds like you are wanting to build a map based on the crime rates in particular areas. Well here you go:

It's really interesting to play around on that website. After you select a city, there are "push pins" that pinpoint particular crimes, down to the street level.

Houston, anywhere south of F.M. 1960.

Not safe enough?

Then try Conroe, anywhere south of Hwy. 105.
