    Seriously, why do high population centers in the western world have so many mentally unstable people and/or tweakers?

      Low population areas do to. But you don’t have public transit so as long as you don’t wander into their meth labs you never have to meet them.

      Lots of people.

      Small town crazy is different. Small town crazy everyone knows who the lunatic is and avoids them or they don’t know and one day several people disappear or someone is kidnapped or something. Small town crazy scares the shit out of me.

        Small town crazy is more like the sheriff knows you beat the shit out of your wife and kids but ignores it as long as nobody ends up in the hospital.

        If rural crime was reported accurately, it would be very clear where the most dangerous places per capita are.

      Because those places have actual free media which report these kinds of issues.
