If I won the big lottery, I'd be very cautious about buying a mansion here.

Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills... all super expensive areas but you literally can hear gangland shootings at night. You might drive by a sketchy neighborhood going to the grocery store.

Or in LA County, Hidden Hills and Calabasas... or in Ventura County it's Lake Sherwood, Westlake Village and Hidden Valley.
