Very safe, very suburban, I've gone out and left my street door wide open before and came home and nothing had happened.... Having said that.. I had two police officers in my house the other day...long story!
I live in a town of 369 pops with a county sheriff's outpost and a courthouse. The normal day to day occurrence is a fuzzwagon parked near a stop sign a half mile out of town. There was an actual chase through town a few years ago. The perp got cornered (because there just isn't anyplace to go) so he abandoned his car and ran through a trailer court and jumped the fence. I have no idea what it was about or how it ended, except that a deputy jumped out of his car with the engine running and it knocked down a fence next door.
In a previous life this town had population 860 and supported two supermarkets with fresh produce and full-service butcher sections, and equal numbers of restaurants, gas stations, bars, card rooms, cat houses, and cops: eight of each. There were enough thieves to make a movie. One guy sweet talked the lady who owned the biggest restaurant into signing it over to him. (Because he was talking marriage, and the husband ought to be the support, not the wife.) The next day he had sold the place and left town. I used to check around the back doors to the cat houses because quite often they threw a customer out and there would be large amount of coins scattered in the gravel. A "large amount" in those days was maybe two bux.
When I moved to this town in 1972, it was a sleepy little town of no more than 14,000. It is sad to see the changes for the worse. You see the homeless and mentally disturbed on a daily basis. Drug abuse is rampant, and as a single senior i am constantly vigilant and watching out for my personal safety. (2 timothy 3:1-5)
