To keep the discussion going, define the following, if you please:

A "decent" neighborhood is...
A "good" neigborhood is...
An "excellent" neighborhood is... |
Everyone has a different standard. But I just want to point out that you said you didn't think Jamaica is "so bad". From the tone, you recognize it's not the best. It's not as scary as the Bronx or the island of Jamaica, but it's also not as safe as many other neighborhoods.
