These are all lies. Small towns have notiriously higher crime rates than Nyc. We should send the National Guard to your small town and place cameras every where

These are all lies. Small towns have notiriously higher crime rates than Nyc. We should send the National Guard to your small town and place cameras every where. I dont feel safe in your small town. I moved away from middle America that’s swamped in meth, high murder rate, and racism. Sorry someone spilled a coca-cola though. Your pearls must be powder in your hands by now.

There’s possibly a fantasy mindset at play where people need a certain identity to be true. As we’ve witnessed on a national scale, humans have great capacity for fantastical thinking to support what a friend of mine calls their “binkie narrative.”

His small town? Tallinn is comparatively tiny to NYC admittedly but Dubai is a fairly large and urban city. I think that it doesn’t quite fit the appellation.

  Tallinn might be smaller but it's the capital - so centre of organized crime and money. this does matter in terms of safety

This is false. Urban areas have the highest rate of crime compared to rural and suburban. For example look at the years 2020 and 2021 from this report:[0] Table 8 Rate of victimization, by type of crime and location of residence, 2020 and 2021 Location of residence Total violent crime Violent crime excluding simple assault Total property crime 2020 2021* 2020 2021* 2020 2021* Urban 19.0 † 24.5 7.7 9.7 158.9 157.5 Suburban 16.8 16.5 5.6 5.2 90.5 86.8 Rural 13.4 11.1 4.5 4.4 65.6 57.7 You can see clearly that urban has the highest rate of crime, and this has been true for decades.[1] Also, many crimes are not recorded at all in NYC, which is why many stores have locked down all their items with a key that requires permission from a staff member to access. I haven't seen this in the small towms I've been to.

    2022 and 2023 numbers are even worse: https://bjs.ojp.gov/document/cv23.pdf https://bjs.ojp.gov/document/cv23.pdf Same with 2024: https://bjs.ojp.gov/document/cv24.pdf https://bjs.ojp.gov/document/cv24.pdf Also my second link from my first post showed higher Urban Victimization rates in urban areas in every year from 1995 to 2015.
