Stay Away From That Street
Lots of publicity about a visiting ships crew being advised to stay away from certain areas of the city. I think that is proper. After all, visitors don't get to see the on going publicity that these areas accumulate over the past.
And the people that go on the media and tell everyone how these areas are just as safe and good as any other area do not go there, not even in the day time. Not unless they are accompanied by a group of unknown protectors. If you had a million dollars to start a new business, would you locate in one of these areas? I doubt it - unless the government grant was a large enough incentive.
Better yet, if you were visiting a city new to you, wouldn't you like a bit of tourist information as to what spots would be the most enjoyable? Maybe it would be polite not to list 'stay away zones', but then most cities have brochures that say 'visit here' . Means the same thing.
