After visiting Venice for the last couple of summers (scouting the area for retirement), I got the impression that the most prevalent crimes would be jaywalking and Medicare fraud.

We only have one local TV station because there is not enough crime to report to fill a newscast. Ft Myers, on the other hand, has 4. How's that for anecdotal evidence?

I'm no expert on the subject, but I have a feeling the reason we have fewer local TV stations is due to our proximity to Tampa, and not the level of crime to report. We are in the Tampa viewing area, Fort Myers is twice as far from a major market and also has a larger population.
