Understood. I answered it. Pardon my defense when a now deleted post by someone else called it a "dog whistle" . Urban Jungle is not a racial term. It deals with population density. It deals with the struggle and competition. Good lord people are quick to judge from ignorance. All good Davis.
Urban jungle is a phrase that’s been around for decades and it was never a racist thing. Not a biggie IMO.
It is a negative. Its why people live in fear inside one. It is not however a racial one as someone tried to make it. What a load of crap. Again: :
Statistics and reality vs media amplification. If you watch non-stop news you would think that you can’t go outside without dying from COVID. As we see here this phenomenon is applicable to multiple issues.
I didn't say it was a racial one. I said it's a negative connotation. That negative connotation is unwarranted, as people's thoughts and fears about crime are wholly unconnected to the actual statistical reality of crime.
Well when you have certain media networks telling you to be afraid of scary black, brown, homosexual and transgender people, this is what happens.
Could be. Can you provide a link?

The reality is people in urban areas are more likely to be victims of violent crimes. Those people are also more likely to have more fear added to the already higher crime because they are more likely to witness it in close quarters. A crime in a rural area wont be seen by many people. CRIME AGAINST PERSONS IN URBAN, SUBURBAN, AND RURAL AREAS - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VICTIMIZATION RATES | Office of Justice Programs
While I have little doubt that your claims are still true today, that report is from 1979. Regardless, people's views on crime do not match reality. Many Americans Are Convinced Crime Is Rising In The U.S. They’re Wrong.
No question. Never said otherwise. But my neighbors don't lock their doors. (I always lived in more suburban tightness previously.) I think they are crazy. Though Im growing to feel the security they feel with time The clutter creates less security and calm.
I think you’re right. People have been fleeing the cities for decades to get to the violent, noisy countryside.
