^ The entire state of CA is a hotbed for crime (and we have the strictest gun laws, because criminals are not scared of breaking any law except a gun law because the government gets really really mad at them).

But the SF Bay Area as well as Socal is high up on the nation's auto theft and break ins. I lived in a multi-million dollar neighborhood. Some rich kid had his parents import him a JDM Integra Type R from Japan and it was stolen in less than a month. There is no escaping petty crime in California.

However, those nice neighborhoods are usually good at eliminating violent crimes, and I'd rather be a victim of petty over violent. To think that if you kill in intruder who is robbing your home, you can go to jail in CA. You have to justify use of deadly force and (it seems) the criminals often have more rights than victims.
