Very true. The chances of getting murdered in the city for no reason are slim. But I like being able to wake up and know my car will be in my driveway and intact in the morning, not stolen/ransacked/dented/damaged. I like not having to worry about my house being broken into. I like walking around at night alone without fear of being robbed. That kind of stuff happens every day in every part of Buffalo. Nothing pisses me off more that having to go through a million steps to safeguard myself and the stuff I work hard for, because some waste of life wants to steal.
Plus I like the greenspace, lack of traffic, quiet, etc. I’ll probably move further out than Hamburg. I like visiting the city, but I would never live there. But to each his own, everyone has different tastes in where they want to call home.
