This page will generate a set of random addresses in Chicago. How many times do you have to reload it before you get an address that would be tricky to handle?

The first address was:

5326 S CALUMET AVE CHICAGO IL 60615-4818 USA

Which is in an area named “Washington Park”. The crime rates are here:

It’s no place I’d ever want to be. I feel bad for the hood people that have to live there. Their government has failed to do the 1 thing it ultimately is supposed to do which is protect them.

You realize you just picked a point that is a 10 minute walk across a park to the University of Chicago, and a 5 minute walk to a police station, right? The park is full of UChicago joggers. So, I mean, watch out for that, I guess.
