I’m not sure why you thought this would be a helpful reply.
I can say I regularly walk around my neighborhood past midnight on weekends and have been doing so for years. And I’ve never encountered an issue. Sometimes I’ll see a homeless person minding their business but I’ve never been mugged or feared for my safety. I’m not as delusional as you seem to think.
It’s also not the flex that you think it is to have Yemen (a relatively safe and rural country)/“or whatever [implied danger]” be your baseline of safety. I’m positive I’ve been to more countries than you, so you can dial back your condescension.
I’ve done routine international travel in past work - including places that are much less safe than my affluent westernized bubble.
I’m curious what you define as the “real” world, but some place being dangerous does not make it anymore “real” than someplace safe. I just prefer to live in a place where danger is limited! I don’t think being mugged or burglarized is a badge of honor. It’s actually just a pain! It’s happened to me several times.
