So you only feel safe because you have the means / are affluent enough to avoid crime ridden areas?
That‘s not entirely fair.
That‘s not entirely fair.
I live in the city, and travel through all parts -- including the less desirable parts. I ride down Market every day. I go to the central library at Civic Center. I do bike loops through Candlestick. I frequent bars in the Tenderloin.
So no, it's not just because I can avoid "crime-ridden areas". It's because I don't find those areas fundamentally unsafe.
One of these days the sheer weight and remaining shelter of class consciousness will break through the cognitive dissonance. One of these days.
But once you're affluent, you're almost by definition privileged, surely?
