I would never leave my doors unlocked....
I used to live right down the road from Regent Park..(Gerrard and Sherborne) and there was this stinky bum that used to sleep in my stairwell..and sometimes he would knock for hours(mind you he was PISSED drunk).
Sometimes in the morning on my way to work I would give him a muffin or some orange juice.
Regarding ghetto or no ghetto in Canada..I would have to say that the streets of Vancouver (Hastings especially) are nuts....as far as Toronto goes, we do have some 'bad' areas, but nothing that a street smart person could not handle...and our ghettos dont go on for 100 blocks like they do in NY City for example.
I think we live in a pretty safe place..no worry of being killed by leaving the door unlocked...just dont want creepy strangers in our houses
