I think that’s a lot of ppl in this area. I think it depends on your comfort level. We are in the overly cautious camp & there are some ppl who are more comfortable with being more free-spirited. Imo, there is probably a reason they chose to live in Gretna especially if they used to live in other parts of the city. Gretna is one of the safest suburbs in the area. That’s much different than the area that the pp lives. I love this city & like I said am at least 6th gen that I know maybe more. So we won’t leave it. BUT, I also know it has a lot of of problems & crime is one of them. Since your sister does live in the area & knows about the happenings on the news & such, I personally would go with her advice based on her comfort level.I'm never sure if my sis is overly cautious because she is handicapped or if there really IS a reason to be concerned about crime. For the record, they lived IN various parts of New Orleans for 8 years while in college/undergrad (Loyola and Tulane). They decided to move out to Gretna when they bought their house.
