Do you have any guide on how to live Latam? Do you consider Panama safer than LA?If you're from Europe, I suggest avoiding it... But if you still want to go there, stay in Costa del Este where you can have a luxury life if you want (and have the money)... but please learn how to live in Latam before deciding to live there because even doe is not the most dangerous place in Latam, it's still higher than what Europeans are used to. On the other hand if you're from the US then it's ok since most big cities in the US are most dangerous than Panama (and specially the zone I'm saying).
Here is a picture from Street View of the zone I'm saying
