Who cares. Go out and enjoy American cities Statistics are meaningless. This is an incredibly safe country to travel around That's solid reality from my very extensive experience I was all over Jackson MS due to the Mississippi Blues Trail. Spent days in Portland. Visited Hard core pawn in Detroit. I'm a big fan of urban areas It's where all the cool stuff is I've visited just about every urban center in this country I marvel at how safe it is to visit all the wonderful cities in this great country. I'm having the best time of my life the last 2 years traveling all over this really safe country. In 2 years of full time RVing, not a single crime against me.

I’ll make you a $100 bet. I pick the one square mile area in Buffalo where you park your RV, and you go for a leisurely walk after sunset. I will bet you that either you or your RV are the victim of a crime! Same bet goes for Williamsville. But I’ll take the other side. You can park for 7 days and 7 strolls and no crime! But as long as you avoid the ‘bad’ parts of most cities, I do agree, we do live in a generally safe time in history in a generally safe area. |

I am the opposite. I prefer to work at an office as I think I am more productive. The hardest part of working from home for me is the lack of socialization. Both my wife and I work from home and we seem to rarely go out of the house. We will go to the grocery store once a week but other than that we probably leave the house once a week to go out to dinner. I miss other people, At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Humans need socialization and interaction. So many working from home, Manhattan offices remain at 38% capacity. Pharmacist friend says he's filling more anti-depressant and anti-anxiety med prescriptions than ever. |
