Funny you should say that Mark. I and a group of lads did America coast to coast by train a few years ago (amazing trip) and on the day we were due to leave from LAX we ended up getting off at Compton to change to a bus for the airport. We knew the place had a rep but it felt perfectly safe there, even though we were obviously tourists. From a visitors perspective LA beat Dublin but I think we might have been lucky that where we wanted to go we could take the metro.
Even Vegas beat Dublin when I was there-they had FREE buses running along the 'strip' anyway, most welcome in the 45 degree heat!
