I love these codified statements. The real issue here is black-on-white crime, but of course nobody is going to come out and say that.
For me the crime rate and all that matters, but I like my open spaces. I'd rather have a home on a half acre of land on a quiet street than live in the city with the traffic, dirt, grime, AND CRIMINALS, and be so close to my neighbor I could touch his house from my bedroom window.
