Safety: "Each city’s Safety score reflects the reported perception of safety by residents and public data provided by police departments of each city regarding crime rates."
Maybe the residents of Tel Aviv do not perceive their city as unsafe. I guess that people become accustomed to terrorism happening rather regularly.
A city with less homicides but more reported ones in the media is maybe perceived less safe by the residents?
- CamelCaseName 9y agoPerhaps we perceive our safety relative to the safety of surrounding areas? Compare: "Tel Aviv is dangerous, the threat of war is everpresent and I often hear mortar fire, but the border to Gaza just 45 minutes away is substantially more dangerous" vs. "Toronto is dangerous, there's Jane and Finch and many homeless people, the suburbs of Newmarket just 45 minutes away are substantially safer"
- sova 9y agoPerception of safety intimately ties to Whether or not you're in Survival Mode, but I think overall you are correct. It's interesting, since no one locale would have its own "inherent safety" it would just be known by proxy, which is interdependence at its finest. Laterally, a whole picture and paradigm are formed from insubstantial on-their-own blocks. It is interesting, too, that safety is typically a feeling you get when there's not much competition for survival. In an age and time of such abundance, it really baffles me how it is taking so long (in some regards) but, as the great Matthew Wilder say, ain't nothin' gonna break my stride. Ain't nothin' gonna slow me down. Just some thoughts.
