    "We have regular break ins and muggings. Too close to bart and too close to the high school. Neighbors keep to themselves. Not the ideal place people purport it to be. Further from bart is best "

    "It is a relatively safe area for kids, but if you go west of 40th, it can be dangerous. There aren't many kids out in the neighborhood alone. There are not many families with kids—for example, on Halloween we do not get trick or treaters."
