I’ve lived in a big city for years now. Never seen anybody get mugged, or shot, or carjacked, despite doing activist work that often has me visiting poor minority neighborhoods.
The only time I ever really felt uneasy was when I had to walk alone at night through a neighborhood where all the businesses had bars on the windows. Worst thing that happened was a couple of people asking me for money, and they didn’t give me any shit when I said I didn’t carry cash.
But any time I visit the small town where I grew up there’s always someone or another acting like I came back from a fucking warzone lmao
the other night i was walking home alone and a person asked me if i had a spare dollar. i said i didn’t. they seemed happy that i even acknowledged their existence.
that’s my experience of living in basically the “warzone” city.
Now I must speculate. Perhaps LA, Philly, Chicago, or Oakland? You didn’t say so I’m not asking. Just having fun guessing.
Clearly the whole San Francisco Bay Area is Escape from Silicon Valley with Snake Plissken.

Tell Peter Thiel it’s promotional material for another Breakup California ballot initiative, and he’ll financially back you.

You garnered a LOL with this one. Thanks!
Omg, I want to see this movie.
yeah I was thinking chicago or minneapolis tbh. It’s astonishing how afraid certain people are of minneapolis since george floyd was murdered. Its a pretty tame city really.
Samsies. I was impressed with how many people who lost stores or property just shrugged and said “well it had to happen sooner or later”.
with bay area cost of living, they would have asked for two dollars
