I agree, and can also see both sides here. However, in my experience, I find myself finding the same information in a less efficient way. When I'm going to Baltimore or Philly (the two cities I'm most familiar with), I'll ask people what areas I should visit and which areas I should avoid. It would be nice to have this "wisdom" distilled into an app, at least to give me a broad overview. Certainly I shouldn't feel invincible in "good" areas, but as a non-intimidating person, it would be nice to not accidentally put myself in a bad situation. Obviously in cities like Baltimore or Philly it's not a good idea to walk alone late at night, regardless of which street you're on, but there definitely are some places worse than others.
