Service leaves city’s toughest neighborhoods off the map
Not for everybody: Street views highlight downtown, business districts.
Google today added Boston to its growing list of U.S. cities featuring on-the-ground, street level views of people and places.
You can eyeball Newbury Street fashionistas dining alfresco.
But Boston’s roughest neighborhoods, in Mattapan and Dorchester, are not included in Street Views. Those are the areas in which most of the city’s homocides took place in 2007.

You would think with all the murder and crime,bad neighborhoods would be the first places with such technology. Preventing crime/terror is often the main reason behind the introduction of camera’s and other surveillance equipment into any community. I guess it’s not very trendy to watch the real , real world.
