I have never had an experience with crime but I have heard of cars getting stolen or broken into. There's always something on the news, but the crime usually stays in certain areas of the city.

The only possible places for jobs in the area are fast food restaurants, or the other few jobs require a lot of experience in the field they hiring. So for a college student like myself it is hard to find a summer job, so I do wish there were more opportunities for me.
