Gangs
My significant other constantly worries because we are in the middle of gang territory. Two thoughts: 1) I wonder if there are any populated areas where there aren't gangs? and 2) this from Freakonomics might put her fears to rest.
Kind.sir, I do agree with Freakonomics; being in the center presents less risk than being on the margin. However, it is the "to-ing" and "fro-ing" that cause me concern. I admit that gangs are everywhere, and I am a proud member of at least one or two...be aware!

ReplyDeleteThank you, kind reader, for pointing this out. Border wars are dangerous to those on the border.
