I don't like it here

I got stationed at Nellis AFB in North Las Vegas about a year ago, and I have to say that I'm not a fan of this area. So many areas are run down around here and the crime rate is unbelievable. A baby was abducted on a street just around the corner from me and this seemed like a nice neighborhood on the outskirts of North Las Vegas. We're going to try to find a safer neighborhood in this area if that's even possible. Even the nicest neighborhoods in Summerlin aren't safe. A friend lives in a gorgeous neighborhood in Summerlin and her neighbor was robbed at gunpoint, then shot. I have a 6 month old baby girl and I keep asking myself how I'll ever be able to feel comfortable letting her playing outside. Keep in mind that this is the perspective of a 30yo active duty woman who grew up in a small town in western PA and has lived in central NY, Texas and Oahu. I love the outdoors but I love green and I'm not used to these extreme temperatures. I keep hearing that dry heat isn't that bad but I was so uncomfortable that I stayed indoors all summer rather than hiking, camping and all of the other activities I normally enjoy during the summer months. Also I've been told that the school system is horrible here. I'm going to try to PCS my family out of here as soon as possible.
