Things that need to change in Medellin

If I could change things in Medellin, one of them would be the high rate of crimes. I've lost count on all the stories of robberies, murders and gang wars I have heard about here.
Sure, Medellin has changed A LOT to the better during the last years. This used to be the city where people hardly went out night-time, unless you wanted to expose yourself to cartel shootings. Now it is much safer. But that doesn't mean it is safe. Basically, you need to think through where you go and what you bring. If you want to bring a laptop in your bag, you should take a taxi, and avoid any longer walking distance, even daytime. Same with camera and everything valuable.

For a person whose office is the laptop, hrm, quite annoying.
