[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have met a few families who moved out because they say you cannot raise kids there.
And with the prostitute highway being just down the road from them, drug trafficers at many corners, they felt very exposed
Made a move and were happy with the ease of living[/quote]

You mean they are being lulled into ignorance of the drug problems around them?  This is how my rich suburb was, and the number of privileged children that have ended up dead by 35 is astounding.  Living in the city keeps my senses heightened.[/quote]They did not move into rich suburbia[/quote]

Oh, then I'm sure that there isn't any drugs there.  They shouldn't bother to give it a second thought.[/quote]No
City life with a family is not for everyone
They wanted away from the prostitute highway, a [b]neighborhood without drug addicts[/b], etc
And they got it and it worked for them.
If you are nervous about raising them in the city, maybe you would be better off elsewhere[/quote]

This is exactly the problem I am talking about.   There are no drug-free neighborhoods, only neighborhoods where the pretense of drugs is not as obvious.  If they believe there are no drug addicts in their neighborhood, they are being lulled into a dangerously false sense of security.
