Then next time someone says they are looking for a SAFE area don't try to mislead them to thinking Jackson is on par with surrounding areas concerning crime. It's not. It's much worse.

I never said ignore the crime. Everyone that's against living in the city says CHANCES, IF, MAYBE, POSSIBLY, COULD BE, or whatever! A lot people in Jackson surprisingly have NEVER been a victim of crime in Jackson! Yeah maybe an auto burglary, but honestly in my parents' subdivision in Ridgleland, 30+ vehicles were broken into over night at one time when I was a child.

You guys waste your time away on IFs.

The statistical truths mean nothing to this guy because his only truth is his world.

It's so pointless and wasteful. Like I said, a lot of people living in Jackson have never even been a victim of crime! But also like I said, crime is more prevalent in the city than in suburbs, and that rings true for cities all across the country.

Because most of the time, your statistics are inaccurate, or calculated by someone with a biased opinion. But like I've been telling you, I know crime is more prevalent in Jackson, than in Madison. But don't think you can't be a victim of crime in Madison, because you can be! Just the other day, a lot of cars were broken into and various things stolen at a daycare in Gluckstadt!

But this is such a pointless argument to be having at the expense of someone seeking residential help, & for us as city livers and suburbanites to have, because the population of both Madison & Jackson have increased since the 2010 census.
