Really? Why is that, because there would be neighbors there?
I just feel like there is so much more crime in a urban setting than in a rural and just from my experience, it seems as a kid growing up rural just has more responsibility thrust upon them at a younger age and hence seems to be more mature. I know that is pretty general, but just seems that way to me from what I have been exposed to.
Grew up partially in Cambridge, MA - one of the wealthiest cities in the country - Harvard/MIT are there... Densely populated and urban don't necessarily mean poor, or dangerous. Just as an example, Somerville MA, which is next to Cambridge and Boston, is the 15th most densely populated city in the country... Very safe, very community-oreinted. NOW, if Wil was still here, he'd tell you about the old days of the Winter Hill Gang (Whitey Bulger) - but in my lifetime? Great city to grow up in.
