LOL, there is no safe city or town for that. You'd have to literally live in a very rural area to feel that safe and so isolated you may not feel much point in putting up window curtains!
My parents always left our front door open with only the glass/screen door closed, to be "friendly" and so our dog could look out through the door. And this was in Chicago.

Nonsense. I live on a private lane in dense Southern New England coastal suburbia. My house isn’t visible from the street. My neighbors are all retired and watch everything like a hawk. I don’t lock my doors.
The last place I lived in Portsmouth NH was down a short lane and on salt water with a boat dock. I didn’t even have a key to the house.
Both towns certainly have places where you’d want to lock your doors and keep your garage doors closed but not where I lived.
I know some people who live in cities that keep their car doors unlocked because they don't want to continually pay to replace broken windows. Does that count?

My home was robbed in 2016 because my roommate believed the same thing and left our doors unlocked. Not a single incident of reported crime in the area in over 20 years, all retired neighbors who were always out on their porches and new everyone. And yet, they saw nothing. Leaving stuff unlocked is just asking for trouble. Sure, when you're more remote they can just break a window or kick a door in, but at least that leaves potential evidence behind for who did it. There's a first time for everything.
