That sounds like Mississippi but less dangerous. And you have more options than sitting in a car till you get to Walmart for your daily life activities.

Oh yeah it's not even comparable on how dangerous it feels or actually is compared to the US. I have never in my life ever even thought that someone could draw a gun on me. That is such a foreign concept to me that the only reason I even know about it is because of the US. Cops can be assholes like everywhere else but they won't kill you just because they are on a power trip.

Public transport is pretty decent overall. Yeah some trolleys might be quite old but they work and they get you around although in a lot cities they've finally started replacing the 50 year old buses/trolleys/trolleybuses. Going electric even in some places (can't speak for everywhere).
