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
I used to do the same in San Francisco before Covid, and I would constantly hear supposed "war stories" about the city that came straight from right wing rags and social media. Don't even get me started on the amount of San Francisco Copapologa mansplained (or womansplained sometimes) to me over so many years.
