Personally, despite my genuine affections for the lower city, were I concerned for a woman's safety, those areas aren't ones I'd primarily recommend for women living alone - unless one knows what one is getting into, or one is street-wise generally.

I have warned people off of certain parts of this city over the years.

I don't think anyone is arguing that there aren't rough areas of the city. What has many people incensed about the Mac directive is that it wrote off everything east of James - roughly three quarters of the lower city. This advice could only come from a profound ignorance of the city, and plays right into the 'Here be dragons!' mentality that Mac has traditionally had toward it's host city. Let's hope there will be a sea change under the new President.
