    Wow that's an incredibly low number.

    And as Eric has alluded to in the past, 35 miles west it's like entering a third world country after the Apocalypse...Why the difference?......Ben

    Nice to see Mountain View, where I graduated high school, on the list. All the communities in that area overlap each other - which suddenly matters when you try to find a specific address amongst a cacophony of them.

    Spring, TX has the lowest rate of property crimes. Located in Harris County, Spring sees only five property crimes reported for every 10,000 residents.
    Not surprising since our own Cap'n Mike made his home there...If the hoodlums ever find out he's left for the greener pastures of East Texas, some of the dumber ones may think they've got an easy payday......Ben

    Mountain range and we have well funded police departments and LPR{Lic Plate Reader} units on every street leading into town and at all shopping center driveways which are tied into high def cameras. If an LPR gets a hit ( plate is on BOLO list, or listed as stolen), it triggers the cameras in the travel direction and it pops up on a police dispatchers screen and the cops are on them in seconds, Bad boys have figured out that there is a high risk of a fun time at Santa Rita Jail if they come here.

    Such amenities are no doubt not cheap, Eric...I suppose the priority of where the civic bucks get spent depends on who is in charge of the town - the good guys or the bad guys...It looks like wiser heads prevailed in Livermore over Oakland......Ben
