There was very little crime in my suburban part of Connecticut. When I was growing up, most of the neighbors knew where we kept the key to the back door of my house, and all the kids in the neighborhood knew if they got home from school before their parents got home from work and they couldn't find the key to their own house, they could hang out at mine. And vice versa.

We locked our doors at night. I mean - doors have locks, so you can lock them. That's kinda why locks exist. And why keys exist - so they can be unlocked. We had no break-ins, there were no strangers walking around, it wasn't a gated community, or isolated in some rural part of the state. It was just the 'burbs outside New Haven.

Anyone affected by crime up north, could've just moved to an area NOT affected by crime up north. There's also plenty of crime in Florida. Pockets of the state have really bad areas. You just have to read something other than the Daily Sun and listen to something other than VLG to find out about it.
