A very good point that one must agree with.  No matter where it is moved,
some will travel further than others.  And no one should be asked to go where
they are fearful or uncomfortable.  I grew up in Oak Cliff and worked at SMU
in Highland park - Both ends of Dallas' spectrums.  There is crime in both
places and beautiful parks that are perfectly safe in both places.  It's just
that Highland Park has a better reputation and more money, so it is assumed
to be safer.   You still should lock your car on the street and there is a
very real reason everyone has house alarms and security in Highland Park.
And there are million dollar mansions in Oak Cliff - just not everyone
rembers Kesler Park or the Stemmons area.  Fort Worth and Arlington are very
similar in this situation.  That's why it was smart for us to be asked to go
to these parks and LOOK closely at them, on an individual basis.

Thank L.Raimond and Baron Galen for asking everyone to help and allowing
people like me who don't fight to have a voice in the selection for fighter
practice location and allowing everyone a chance to put forth their choice
and pursuasive arguments.   An educated decission means everyone will be well
served.
