“I live in a wealthy suburb outside a major city and it’s safe here compared to an entire major city” fixed it for you

  You seem to be implying that it's right and proper for cities to have high crime. Why is that?

    The poster is only saying it is typical that crime in cities is higher than in surrounding suburbs, in the US. They didn't say anything about "right and proper" -- that's your spin.

    > You seem to be implying that it's right and proper for cities to have high crime. That's a really odd reading. From my vantage point it looks more like anecdotal evidence from within an area with usually lower crime rates and attempting to extrapolate to the larger city/ies. I don't see a value judgment at all.

    I'm not the OP but I personally would imply that a wealthy and low density area would have a lower rate of petty theft than a dense and urban environment full of a diverse group of people (with diverse incomes and diverse needs). Not that it should have, but that it can be expected.
