Crime report is way off

I have lived in Las vegas for over 20 years now.
The crime here is as bad. Not the 1 that is listed. Goto the reviewjournal.com website to read the list of children being shot alone. I have a nine year old son, and got on this website to find a new home for us, because of the crime and the education system (probably why the crime is so bad ). If you are considering living here, DON'T!!!! This place is overrun with homeless, (not the family that lost everything)The kind that have made this a career. The stand at freeway off-ramps, turn signal islands, and anywhere they can bum some money. there are so many tourists that fall for the sad faces, that it motivates them to stay. I have seen some of the same bum's for the 20 years plus that I have been here. Vulgar signs on top of all the taxi cabs that you children will be asking you about, or maybe the disgusting graffiti. If you have been here to visit, you have probably not seen what is going on, because the strip is isolated and protected by Metro police. If you must live here for work, consider the city of Henderson St Rose Pkwy and south. Private school is about $1200.00 a month, so get a good job if you have kids. Good Luck
