Nonsense
[edit]"Fort Lauderdale can be very safe but there are some parts of town you should probably avoid if you are on foot at night. Like all cities, you should ask advice on what areas are safe and what to avoid. The areas likely to be frequented by the tourists, along the beach, shopping along Las Olas and down town are safe. This would be the NE and SE parts of the city. You should use more caution if the address is on the West side of the city NW or SW. The intersection of Andrews Ave and Broward Blvd designates the NW NE SW SE sections of the city. Avoid the NW and SW areas, especially at night. The central part of Broward County West of Andrews Ave to the Florida turnpike is not a place for tourists. Suburban cities that should be avoided include Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill and especially Sistrunk."
All of this is nonsense. There are some homeless people, like there are in every major city, but it hasn't been a huge crime central since the late 90s, early 00s. Lauderdale Lakes and Lauderhill are just residential areas that happen to be majority black, with no significant pockets of crime. This BS is dipped in racism. —The preceding comment was added by 165.225.32.69 (talk • contribs)
- You obviously have current information about the city, so plunge forward and make the necessary edits. Thanks in advance. (Also, on talk pages, please sign your posts by typing 4 tildes [~] in a row at the end of each post.) Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:53, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
