Recent Increase in Cfrime (Ventura County)

[Kevin Phu]

Hey BPers! I know this is the LA county forum but it's the closest one to Ventura county. Hopefully I'm able to post my question here!

So, I live in Oxnard and there has been a huge spike in crime this year. Since Jan 1, there have been 9 shooting homicides (pretty much all gang related), 15+ shootings (most appear to be gang related from initial investigations), and a bunch of car thefts (had a recent one month stretch that had 25 thefts).

I'm sure this will affect the local market a but as potential buyers would see this and be turned off right? Are there any VC investors that can shed some light on this from their experience. Other investors from different areas are welcomed to share their experiences too if they've had to deal with a local market like this! 

Thanks!
