Crime
Here in my urban hellhole, crime is obviously an issue but it's less of an issue for someone like me. There's plenty of violent crime, and lots of murders, but, especially in the broader area of the city where I live, there isn't all that much random violence, or violence likely to impact me. Obviously I'm not the only person who matters, and it's tragic that there are communities where a lot of violence, random or otherwise, exists, but the point is that just because lots of people get murdered in Philadelphia doesn't mean that I worry too much about being murdered.
