I have moved enough to know that no matter where you live there will always be some joke or tragedy about the state or area you reside. Sadly there will always be crime, good guys/bad guys, good cops/bad cops, etc. If you are happy with where you live, your children are safe and the school system is doing a good job then who cares what they think. We moved here from Phoenix due to the crime etc, we live outside Minneapolis and are very happy here. Our neighborhood is still considered "very desirable" in the real estate circles even though it's older. But some people from work act like we live in a cardboard shack in the middle of a corn field. We don't have to deal with alot of things they do and are just fine with that.
