The truth about the matter is no matter where you hold the nationals, if it is in a major US city there will be a crime factor. It all depends on where you are in the city. Take Los Angeles for instance, while there are numerous areas with a major crime problem, there are ample areas with little or no violent crime close to the high crime areas. Often times many of the venues in major cities are in high crime areas.

If you watch out for yourself and stay in hotels in nicer areas, (often only a couple of miles away from the venue) you should be fine. I have lived in Los Angeles all my life and i'm an EMT in the inner city yet have never been victim of a crime. Besides, maybe it would be good to bring FIRST to the inner city and get inner city students interested in science and engineering. Many inner city students have no way to see what science and engineering are all about. After all FIRST is about advancing science and technology no matter what the venue. It's the people that make FIRST what it is, not Disney World!
