Ironic, since most parts of the Bay Area, and certainly where most  
vaguely engineer-ish types are found, are among the safest in the US  
(and most of the industrialized world if you extend the coverage to  
"violent crime").  Silicon Valley proper may be deadly boring, but it  
is ridiculously safe by the same virtue -- you would have to try  
pretty hard to look for trouble to get into it.  The greater Bay Area  
contains some of the very safest and most dangerous spots in the US,  
and never the 'tween shall meet.
