Maybe not as much as you might think.

We were doing photos of our production group and the photographer chose a location that was in one of the less-desirable sections of town, but which had a great view of the skyline. My co-workers were petrified to be there and insisted that nobody walk back to their car alone, even though the sun was still up. I kept trying to tell them, "Guys...it's okay. I live 3 blocks farther down. This isn't that dangerous as you're making it out to be. We sit out on the porch in the evenings and walk to the store all the time!" lol To be honest, I DID think we'd get robbed and beaten when we first moved into that area. What we found was that, for the most part, people are people...and the bad ones are the exception regardless of what color they come in.
