Rutland VERMONT? Being from New England originally, and having been in Rutland more than a few times, this is a mind-blower. In my day they rolled up the sidewalks at sundown in Rutland.
Now BURLINGTON I can understand. That’s where the university is.
This is stats at play.
Crime as percentage of population.
If my berg had a population of three and one was assaulted it would have a 30% rate and shoot to the top of the list.
Burlington is over 90% white (85.6%) and Asian (4.6%). I never had any sense of menace there. A really nice place with fine people. I have to doubt these statistics.
I guess if you count Jane and Bernie’s grifting it might be true.

...and where public nudity is legal...
