Its all pretty much common sense. I feel pretty comfortable with my surroundings, I don't plan to go walking around town, but I was more or less worried about my neighbors. Makes things a little harder having to look out for my girl, and myself.
Trust me on that one, I make it a point of looking every one in the eye that passes me on the street. Usually I get a sup or hey because of it, even from groups of gangster types when its just me byself. If someone confronts you just keep your cool, Ive gotten out of getting mugged many times just by playing it cool. Of course, its Canada we got our positive stereotypes for a reason.

Yeah. Especially gangsters say hey/whatup all the time to me. I'm unsure if it's because I look crazy and unstable or because that's their test of your constitution.

Does anyone who has lived in lower socio economic areas have tips for staying safe while living there? My biggest concern is my stuff being robbed from my pad while im at school, and for my girlfriend walking to and from her car at night.
I know respect goes a long way, but its hard being a white boy in predominately mexican neighborhoods.
Is that the first time you two living together in a studio? I had bad experience with this.
