So in other words, you have no idea what you are talking about beyond what Hollywood tells you NYC is like. When was the last time you took a walk through Park Slope? If you had done that then you would know what I am talking about.
Funny thing about that list of yours, all of those things happen in non-urban places as well.
Let's get something straight here OK? You can't double talk me . It's beyond debate that all those criminal behaviors I mentioned occur at exponentially higher rates in urban areas when compared to less densely populated rural areas.
Furthermore, I don't need Hollywood or you to tell me what NYC is like. I've been there many times. It's a fantastic city, and I have had some great times in the city. Nevertheless, as with all densely populated areas, crime is rampant compared to rural living, and that's a fact no matter what BS LIBERAL IDEOLOGUES wish to promote as the truth..
Perhaps the most important driver of such high crime rates is income inequality and poverty, which go hand in hand with dense urban development, made worse by leftist social policy which grows poverty rather than eliminating it.
And this isn't rocket science .... when you take groups of extremely wealthy and desperately poor, and jam them together in densely populated confined space, it's altogether predictable, and inevitable that crime rates skyrocket.
Throw in for good measure, the constant antagonist elements of race, gender, sexual orientation and class warfare baiting that leftists have honed to a fine art ... the outcome is societal strife, distrust and anger constantly brewing.
This is the utopia for which the fractured minds of the liberals espouse, ignoring reality in so doing.

I had 6 acres, a tractor and chickens and goats and was 20 minutes to work in Austin, TX.
I now have 45 acres, chickens, donkeys and cows and am 45 minutes from College Station, TX.
And I guess I'm about to go out to mow some of my "mass delusion" this afternoon
What can I say..I like peace and quiet and need my "elbow room".
I like my 7 mile bike commute. I flip off the ten gas stations I pass every day, because I know if gas shoots up to $10 / gallon I won't give a rip. Then again, someone who has a 45 minute car commute would be sweating bullets, no?

So basically you are saying you don't know what the word "rampant" means if you think crime is rampant in NYC...either that or I can only assumed you were mugged, raped, and murdered when you visited NYC because crime is so rampant.
And who said NYC was a utopia? That is the northwest for me. It is just a big capitalist city. Nothing more, nothing less.
Rural for me. The more miles and miles of nothingness between me and the nearest "amenities," the better. Screw the lawn, the McMansion, AND the Starbucks.

I think you're exaggerating the practical difference between crime being "really rare" and "really, really rare". Also linking urbanism to socialism, which is just silly. In the past, the rural midwest was the incubator of American socialism.

Crime rate is not skyrocketing in NYC, dear texan... in fact, it's still declining: and it's actually lower than Dallas, Houston, San Antonio's one.
