There's nothing to disagree with. Getting punched in the face isn't safe. Not getting punched in the face is safer. My neighborhood is safe, but if you asked me if I'd go down a particular alley at 2AM, I'd say I wouldn't. Safe isn't defined as being able to walk around an area naked without any threat of even staring.
One can feel unsafe but be completely safe. You see that in the modern day where people feel things are worse when they aren't.
One can feel unsafe and be safe, just as one can feel safe and be in total danger. That's just a cliché that can't be tackled. We're talking in the aggregate here, since we're on Reddit, and talking in general.
