That attitude depends on your station in life and gender (not many women will wish for that). Regardless of country or race, most people, if they had the means would move to less chaotic neighborhoods. It's not like quiet neighborhoods and suburbs don't exist in Nairobi or Sao Paolo or Moscow, etc., where people seek a quieter life. Getting there is a matter of slow transformation. Even in Beijing or Tokyo, life wasn't always quiet and peaceful. It happened gradually as society evolved to a point where minor crime was more or less eliminated. I'm sure there is always a small group of people who wish for wild-west frontier like chaos, it has some appeal, but after a while the majority of people just want peace and quiet and to be left alone.
