I lived in a big city. Not the worst part of town but within 3 miles from some of the worst areas. Keep in mind although cities seem big they are still in close proximity to bad areas, about 3 miles apart sometimes.
Recently less than one mile from where I lived someone was murdered at night. I have been targeted by criminals a couple of times. I have witnessed criminal activity in the city.
The crime statistics for where I live was that around 1 in 113 will be a victim of a violent crime.
I have never lived in such a harsh place, the area is bleak, a lot of people here are always on guard for good reasons and there is a lot of nasty personalities and rudeness.
Why did I live in the city in the first place? The reason is because I could make more money that way, that was the main reason. My parents told me it would be a good idea, even though they never lived in a city and in matter of fact when I grew up living with my parents we lived in a area where the crime rate was only 1 in 1,600! Much less chance than 1 in 110.
I have never for my 18 years ever heard or experienced something as bad living where my parents lived.
Currently I moved out of the city and closer to my parents.
As of right now the place I live has much less crime, it is 1 in 330 where I live now.
I am working towards moving into even safer areas.
Even though I won't make as much living in the city, I come to believe the safety is worth it.
