You live in NYC to make more money than you can in safer places..
Good luck , be careful , armor plating is heavy , and so what is safest is a Tank, but you ride a bike..
you cannot shop your way to safety , other than Moving somewhere else..
Oh yes the good old Cliche, Cities are full of crimes and a dangerous place to live at and country living is pure clean safe living, peple are just used to and like to live where they were born and raised and know and comfortable with, good old tired debate about Country rural area living versus City and Meroploes life,
