Financial District safe to live?
I know it's dead at night, but social life aside, is it a safe place to live? I think I felt certain places were a bit shady at night, but wanted to hear other people's thoughts. What are usually the safe/unsafe neighborhoods in Manhattan?

re:safety
a) new york, contrary to popular belief, is actually an incredibly safe place these days - nymag did a great article about the falling murder rate in feb - see here: http://nymag.com/news/features/crime/2008/42603/
b) the financial district is actually super safe - the same issue of nymag had a map of crimes (rape, mugging, murders) by neighborhood http://nymag.com/news/features/crime/2008/42603/
there were o murders in the financial district per 100.000 residents last year, as compared to 5 per 100,000 residents in the UES>
fed reserve police
The Fed Reserve has it's own police outside the building at all times. Actually the fin. dist. is extremely safe contrary to what you may think.
NYC is safer than LA and
NYC is safer than LA and Chicago.

safer than Chicago...
That does not say much :) I live in Chicago and this city is going to hell. Still love it though.
