Imagine needing a study to find that an active, trusting community has less "crime".

    So walkable communities and lots of foot traffic lower crime rates as urbanists have been saying for 50 years? Why do they have to push dog owners into it? Do americans only walk with dogs?

      Yes to that last part. You only get to walk if you have a dog and you only get breaks if you're a smoker.

        It's my own damn fault for starting smoking but damn if retail work didn't hammer it in and make those daily breaks part of my routine.

      Why do they have to push dog owners into it?

      Feels like a... uh... dog whistle, suggesting that large scary dogs patrolling the neighborhood are frightening off Super predators

          The suburbs are where the housing is cheapest, rofl. But pay outside the business centers isn't great, lmao.

            By suburbs i mean the concept that became popular in the early 20th century on the anglophone world specially among the elite back then like big lawns, far away from the poors of the cities, etc.

            In Latin America the suburban region is densily populated and has a lot of mixed use occupation and is very working class.
