Well I moved to close to Spokane on the Washington / Idaho border primarily for the affordable real estate so I could get a decent house paid for before I retire.
Well it turns out that
Spokane's auto theft rate is the 4th highest in the country, lol.
Heck I could have had a high auto theft rate back in San Diego. I liked it there, and the winters are more moderate than just about anywhere. I just can't afford the real estate.
Like "on the path" said in post 7, Low crime rate isn't everything.
