There is a common myth that "cities are dangerous" while suburbanites don't even let their kids ride bikes in their own neighborhoods bc they're so dangerous bc of cars and everyone knows it.

Cities are safer than suburbs and they are lying to you about it.

Je ne comprends pas

@wvistheduck It's easy to point fingers at The Other in the city, because that's not 'us', it's 'them'. Recognising the danger of the suburbs would entail recognising the source of that danger - 'us' - the suburban dwellers themselves. No-one wants to engage with their own responsibility.
