I live in downtown San Diego and its as safe as houses. Obviously not the houses in New Orleans.
Anyway. I get home from work at about 3am and usually have to park about half a mile from my place and have no worries walking home.
I find that the States is a lot safer than the UK. Not sure if its cos they have guns here or people are generally less violent or maybe because I lived in shitty parts of London and now I live in nicer areas of the US.
I do find that crime here tends to be more within ones ethnic circle. Black on black, Hispanic on Hispanic and the only time I have had any bother is from some Northerners down my local English pub

. Luckily, I had a handful of change which I tossed on the floor. They soon forgot about me
