Yes. Private security, homes and businesses. It’s everywhere now.

Flint and Detroit do have about 60 miles of separation. They aren't exactly neighbors. I haven't been to Flint in awhile, but it's north end is one of the roughest looking areas I've ever seen. Pierson Rd.

Lansing's on the list? It has some rough parts, but isn't that bad outside of its Southwest end and around Baker St. Saginaw, Inkster, Ypsilanti, and Pontiac are not on the list and are in much worse shape than Lansing.

Jackson didn’t seem that bad outside of one area by Francis St. A little run down, but nothing that would faze me. That’s by Michigan city standards, though. Not all that high.

I know what you mean, man. You have to quit cold turkey.

I keep telling the people in charge in Boise to put in more outside lighting because it’s dark and scary on the University campus and downtown at night, but they keep saying “We’re trying to conserve power and limit light pollution”.

Then they have another mugging or murder on the Green Belt.

All those cities I mentioned were their state’s respective legislatures meet, hence why I said they were dangerous. But thanks for the info on Boise.
