Reply to comment by romanceordelusion in how to thrive in dc with no big city experience? by Fresh_Dragonfruit702

No need to try to scare the poor OP. I look lost and clueless all the time and no one has ever bothered me in any city I’ve ever been in. And that includes Bangkok and the Philippines. This isn’t Dickens’ London. The streets aren’t swarming with vagabonds and neerdowells

I think it really depends on the person. I’ve lived in several major cities and in some, petty thefts are quite common if you look smaller or are a woman. I’m targeting advice to a person who has 0 experience city living and may not understand even the basics
