A couple of rules to live by:
1. Stay out of the big cities, especially after dark.
2. Stay away from anything on a bus line.
3. Whenever you do go out, leave your ego at home.
People who live in urban areas are commonly drug addicted, have no real regard for their own lives and care little or nothing for others. Nor do they have the moral principles that are the core of a socially responsible conscience. After 10:00 pm they are likely to be intoxicated and deadly violence is common. Urban America is unlivable.
Lots of nice places have bus lines.
