Surrey, like any other city its size, has its nice neighbourhoods and its neighbourhoods you don't want to be in after dark. My area was all family farms 10 years ago: now it's a subdivision full of 3 level 'executive' homes, and everyone has a mortgage helper. There are basement suites, ground floor unit suites used as small businesses, and carriage houses. On Hallowe'en, half of my neighbours will be giving out fullsize treats, and the rest will be walking around with hundreds (LITERALLY) of other suburban zombie parents. Unfortunately the party neighbours who used to hand out beer to every parent that would take one have moved.
There are other areas of Surrey I wouldn't walk through during the day, like the rebranded, gentrified 'University Corridor'. Some of us remember when it was the Whalley stroll. A block away from all that new building, from all those beautiful "Yaletown style" condos, there are still crackwhores hustling on the street, and the Front Room (a drop in centre for the homeless with hiv/aids) operates at capacity every day.
