Cheez Whiz, buds, you pull four incidents in outer buttnuttin nowhere over 5 decades, versus 4 incidents per HOUR in urbana, and wonder why folks HATE cities?
Either you you really don’t get it, or you are a special kind of stupid.
No, I didn’t think I’m real stupid. Now, may I remind you that is it against the policy of this forum to engage in personal attacks? May I also remind you that this forum is based in Fresno, California, a city of 500,000 people? How many servers are there to handle this much web traffic in small little hamlets?
With that out of the way, may I now ask you to point out where I wrote that the crime rate is the same in big cities as in small towns. I didn’t write that did I? I responded to the statement that “life is just better” in sleepy little villages. If the criteria is only crime, then I guess that’s true. Of course there’s more to life than that. Anyway, I simply cited a few examples to show that it’s not accurate to state that there is “no crime” in such places. Much less, yes, but crime doesn’t vanish in such places. Maybe it’s not stupid but rather naive or dishonest to think human nature changes when there’s fewer of us around.
My bigger point is that some people don’t like living like it’s still 1940. They like jet travel, and more dining and entertainment options than venison at your neighbors’ house half a mile away, or story telling around the fireplace, more places to go and see things besides the forest or fishing in the local stream.
Big city life, or even the suburbs for that matter, is not for everyone. Neither is rural living.
