"那个地方不安全。"

Translation: That place is not safe.

[wclearn]

Here, "area" is interchangeable with "place"

[fluffy_usagi]

"That area is not safe" marked wrong

[JamesLick]

"is unsafe" should also be accepted.

[RoryMichaelis]

"unsafe" is wrong, but "not safe" is correct? Spare me!

Can anyone explain the different connotation when 块 is used with 地方 instead of 个?

[CalebePiac]

I'm not sure, but looking through some examples and dictionaries meanings, it seems to me that 个 would be better used to talk about generic "measures" of places. On the other hand, 快 would be something like "parts", "parcels" of area/land etc. So, 快 has this meaning of being a part of some bigger place/area, and 个 focus only on the place itself. Being repetitive, 快 is like saying about a room in reference to the house and 个 about the room.
