People's perceptions can be funny and disappointing. I was once asked which of the cities that I lived in I missed the most. Easy: New York. The person told me how shocked they were since New York was so violent, unlike their safe Nashville. That night, I looked at crime data, and the per-capita violent crime rate in Nashville was double that in NYC. People choose to live in information bubbles, but I think it's important to challenge your assumptions every now and then.
