It's not a false sense of security, it's lower crime, thus more secure that's statistics. If your daughter became a rape victum you might care more about those 'mcmansion areas' where crimes like that are proven to be less likely. You can't escape crime, no one is trying to do that but to say you're just as likley to get raped, killed or robber in South Charlotte than say West Charlotte is not rational, not logical and not factual at all. I don't know how you'd come to this assesment.

Yes, you still have to teach your kids safety and common sense. Also I am specifically talking about violent crime here. You can bet your ass there is just as much going on in South Charlotte as East Charlotte in crime, but goes undetected or is blue collar crime. East Charlotte is the suburbs just as South Charlotte is. You're not escaping crime, you're moving to a lower crime area. Simple as that. 51 is ten times worse than a decade ago.

And I make around 30k a year and live no one where near Mansions. You may be thinking of select nighborhoods like Piper Glen, or Myers Park but to say South Charlotte or even Ballantyne is a bunch of rich people/mansions is very naieve. This is why I say it's a choice. I make half the money I did in Flint but I will never EVER go back. I choose to live in a nice area with less violent crime.

I will agree with making your own community better but it's much more complicated than that and you know it. Even if I agree I am not raising a family in a crime ridden area to prove that point. I value my family more than that belief.

If you valued them you wouldn't live in an area void of individuality and that is a vapid wasteland of tahoes and chain restaurants

But people be raping up in here
