What an incredibly effective way of showcasing murder rate isn't everything - you couldn't pay me to live in Irvine.

What an incredibly effective way of showcasing murder rate isn't everything - you couldn't pay me to live in Irvine.
- giantrobot 4y agoBut Irvine has The Spectrum (is it still open?) and... The Spectrum! A real cultural nexus.
- emodendroket 4y agoYes, the Spectrum is still open.
- teacpde 4y agoCurious what makes Irvine a bad place to live for you?
- explaininjs 4y agoTakes the American "unwalkable city" trope to the extreme - you can't even really bike there. People live in isolate subdivisions (gated, often) connected to the outside world by mega-arterials with 6+ lanes. It's not surprising it ranks so low in murders - it's hard to get killed when you're only outside for the time it takes to walk from your parking spot to the shop.
- emodendroket 4y agoOthers are paying a great deal for the privilege though.
