Do Most Rural Arkansans Envy Little Rock?

You need to go visit Bed Stuy or East NY in NYC. Way more dangerous on a quiet day in NYC than the worst day in LR. It just so happens there are millions of people here that aren't committing a violent crime, thus making the statistics lower. (By the way, lived in LR most of my life. Now living in NYC for 3 years now. I was never attacked or mugged in LR, have been twice up here.) Again, it doesn't matter where you live. It just matters what idiots live near you

however, that also aplies to many big cities, too. Largly, as in Litle Rock, it depends on the neigborhood and also just how one behaves, who one knows, and how much sense one has. But there are no gurenties, either,, and some crime dose happen just about everywhere.
New York city as a whole actually now has a below average crime rate (Much lower then little Rock, Ar in fact.), -it got much better during the 90's under mayor Rudy Giuliani. -NYC still has some very bad neigborhoods, though, but not the city as a whole. Some small towns do have high crime rates. (some, -not most- but some definately do, -I have looked that up right here on city-data.)

Pardon me for your misundestanding, but me saying the bit about try living in other places is to simply a snippet of sarcasm if you will. :-) I know that applies to anywhere because we live in an imperfect world dear...

I live in North Central Arkansas and I can say that there is no Little Rock envy here. Ya'll can have your city life. . . I'll take my rural any day and just go visit LR once a year. Nothing wrong with LR. . .just not my cup of tea.
