I've been trying for about 20 minutes to figure out how to word this without it sounding "snarky" and I'm having a tough time, but please know this is an honest and sincere question. NO snark intended. I hate how hard it can be to show emotion online sometimes.
Where did you find to move to that has no crime?
I've lived in a number of different places, most of which would've been considered "but nothing ever happens here!" neighborhoods especially when I was a kid, and now that I'm older and reading this stuff those neighborhoods scare me more than the ones that are at least known to be bad. Of course there's a huge range in between.
Where I live now I'd say is on the safer side (IMO) of "in between" but certainly not crime-free. Some who think they live in a "safe" neighborhood probably think mine is dangerous comparatively speaking, I don't know. We don't have gates, but I certainly don't feel threatened most of the time. For those who've read my prior posts we have a surveillance camera set-up at our house so obviously we don't feel totally secure, but it's almost 100% property crime as far as I know, some semi-subtle drug deals, no abductions or violent assaults that I know of. I don't have kids, but people move to this neighborhood because of the schools being considered good. There are some nice parks nearby, a weekly "bible story group" for kids nearby (note to mods: I'm not bringing this up to discuss religion! just describing), good schools, great people IMO... nice neighbors. I haven't looked recently but there were probably roughly 20 RSOs within 5 miles of here, though.
Meanwhile my younger half-sister grew up in a gated community and the only area I've EVER seen on the RSO lookup that didn't have at least a few offenders nearby. I thought the site was broken/down, there were
none. and she was nearly abducted at least once that I know of, very close to her house, and within the locked gates. That was only the one that scared her enough that she reported it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more. Some of the people who lived there really creeped me out, honestly.
Sorry, long drawn out way of asking again, where are you moving that's crime-free? 'cause I wanna come too and bring all my family and friends.
If you don't mind...
ETA: eek apparently it's closer to 20 RSOs within 2 miles... yuck. Seems like most of them live in that one apartment complex that we all know to stay the h*** away from. I have yet to look up somewhere that didn't have any at all listed, though.
