Just skimming through this thread, this is an important point. From what I can tell, the choice most commenters are presenting is in which upper middle class suburb to live. I suppose inner city crime could affect sense of safety in the suburbs depending on how people spend their time, but it isn't very useful to refer to such and such city (Atlanta, Chicago, etc.) as higher or lower in crime for people largely living and spending their time in suburbs.
