Crime rates per capita are significantly lower in urban areas than suburban and rural areas. This further goes down in societies that treat the cause of crime instead of just shooting black people and enslaving kids like the US exclusively does as their criminal justice system.
Can I get numbers on that? Last time I looked up crime rate statistics on rural vs urban I found the opposite, that urban areas have higher crime rate per capita thanks to a number of compounding factors. I still think proper, high density design is better, but those were the numbers I saw.
I’d be stunned if a single thing was ever stolen from my porch.
Lemmy: Live in a walkable city, packed in like rats, never mind the crime and no one needs a gun!
Hard. No.

I’ve lived in major cities for my whole life and I’ve never had a package stolen.
