Movin' to the Barrio..
I'm inclined to say go for it. The way I see it, if I'm running cars with headers or opersting air tools, I'd rather be in a so-so neighborhood than in a good one where the neighbors will be bitching about noise...parts cars....visiting friends in Musclecars or on bikes... radio playing in the garage at 2:00 am....
Get some more opinions from people whom live there. You might become a popular guy with the modified cars. Might make a friend or two, or at worst, earn some respect because of your hobby.
That could be worth more than security cameras....
