In any case, Berkeley (while prestigious) is in a bit of a freaky neighborhood. I feel a lil' nervous when I was there, walking from the BART to the campus.
Hmmm, I have to disagree with you on the immediate area of the Greek Row. That area is ok, it's once you go below Shattuck (by the BART station) it gets a little sketchy. Problem is, alot of the local homeless hang out on Telegraph Either they stay on the strip near campus (tourists= begging for $$) or they hang out on Shattuck (near Berkeley BART) The local business are chatting it up with the city council to take care of the problem. The vagrants are harrassing peeps and business' are losing money. Telegraph has already lost Codys books.

ETA The property value is really high around the campus so the folks that OWN property are fine, its the the vagrants and such that are the problem. They hang out and dont go anywhere.
