@Arete does your apartament complex entrance door get automatically locked when it closes and does it close automatically? If so cool but if not pls lock ur flat door sis/bro (non-existent enby term). What if someone forgets to close/lock it? Arent you scared? Lots of crime in the big cities in the US

yes/yes (although someone could prop it without that much difficulty)
no
I was a little scared when someone got shot like a block or two from where I live?

What made you stop being scared?
some time passed without anything more notably bad happening
plus it happened at like 2 AM and I’m not usually walking around the neighborhood at 2 AM
(plus I think people are ~relatively unlikely to randomly shoot me for no reason)

also just to be clear the person who was shot didn’t die or anything!! this is irrelevant to the danger level but just in case you were worried

Probably not but they might mug you. Although you dont go out late so maybe youd be safe. I hope so

If i ever move to the US id need to be somewhere that both isnt car centric and the crime rate is very low. Id be scared and unhappy otherwise. Id rather stay in bulgaria than move to a dangerous place and for the car centric part thats my personal failure of being an abominable driver its not that bad im sure for people who are good drivers. Some crazy people even enjoy driving
I think the north east miniature states are like that. Iirc i also saw on a map that theyre the least religious which is also a bonus
this is nowhere in the US im sorry for your loss

The thing is it’s likely that if you’re the victim of some kind of violent crime, you’ll know the person who did it to you. If it’s a stranger, it’s exceedingly unlikely it’ll happen literally inside your home. If someone tries to rob you at gunpoint, you’re extraordinarily unlikely to actually be shot unless you fight back (and yeah, if someone is robbing you at gunpoint, the best thing to do is just give them what they want). I’m not saying you shouldn’t lock your front door (you should), but the scenario you’re worried about here is fiction.

The scariest thing, to my knowledge, that happened close to me was an (alleged) murder-suicide two houses away.

I have friends in Chicago that don’t have a car and do just fine. You’re going to want a city though which will have a higher crime rate, but also you’re unlikely to be the victim of a violent crime.
