This country needs to bring back "callboxes". They don't have to be a booth you can step into but there should be working police/emergency phones along the streets.
When people are robbed at gunpoint, the cellphone is the first thing they are going to take and not just for the "valuable iphone". It keeps you defenseless and unable to call the cops.
Also, as you ring into the city from one, the operator can pinpoint your location. This is good if it isn't your city or maybe your regular part of town.
Are you running for office as a Democrat? Thieves steal call boxes too. As long as city dwellers pay for it and not the rest of us, have at it. There isn't a respectable socialist utopia anywhere without call boxes.
