More Dangerous: Detroit or Florida?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Statistically, the correct answer is Detroit. But Florida's larger cities aren't exactly safe - especially Miami and Orlando. Where I live in Florida has a relatively high crime rate, but it's not too dangerous. In most places you'd feel safe leaving your door unlocked at night. Although in Jacksonville, just a few miles away, I certainly wouldn't advise that.

People do that?

Not in Flarda. It's not as bad as to warrant the Bugs Bunny meme each time but yeah I want to know where J lives. Maybe in a small town like Frostproof, but then again all the migrant workers there would probably have me on my toes due to the number of transients.

The homeless in Tally are the worst I've ever encountered. It's amazing how great this city is aside from this problem, but it remains an issue. Every night I get hit up for money, cigarettes, requests for rides, offers to buy drugs, etc from an increasingly belligerent bunch. Just last month one was in the neighboring Jimmy Johns parking lot following girls up the street begging for money and lashing out at those who declined.

Lol America

You can do that in a lot of places here. When visiting Cresson, PA, where my cousins live, I can go from my cousins house to my great aunts across town on foot without worrying about knocking. I can't imagine that in sprawled south Floridian suburbia, less Austin Harouff comes in and eats your face.

BTW I had mutual FB friends with him. Finksed up right?

Huh, weird. Is my family just particularly paranoid or something? Because growing up, locking the door was just the thing you did every time you left the house or went to bed.

Same. We even put down the garage door every time we're not using it, unless we're smoking in there.

My family has always locked our doors (my mother came of age in the 1980s, when parents were told that kidnappers lurked around every corner), but living in Detroit south of Six Mile and north of Midtown very much obligates one to lock the doors.

Well dude, it's like the Oakland County Child Killer and stuff. There was some real dark shinks going on there.
