The only way we could possibly create our "safe island" would be to buy back from the counties all of our roads, install a true gate system and block out all access from major highways (eg. high walls), or move to a Del Webb Stone Crest type of community. I don't think that will happen, so our "normal urban problems" will continue to occur even more often as our population grows.
I do agree with GaryW: Drunk is drunk, rudeness is rudeness, irresponsible acts are irresponsible etc., no matter who does them, or how old you are or where you are! That's the real problem! No excuses for bad or dumb behavior.
