The Reagan White House moved to lower tax rates for developers in the 1980s and then years of low interest rates glutted downtowns with office buildings. Time's up.
I mean, by density it seems like there just would be less unless you are claiming a much higher drugs and crime per capita in the boonies. And you can drive by at 55mph and avoid it much more IME.
Usually the drug use is kept on people’s properties.
And the people, you know, actually own their property.
As far as crime? Well, my car was never broken into until I moved in with my friends in the center of Houston.
We’ve all had our cars broken into without the guy ever getting caught. Also had a stabbing murder right down the street, so that was nice.
Ever since leaving the major city, I haven’t really experienced any crime personally. Not that it doesn’t happen, it’s just way more prevalent in major cities.
I’d argue the types of crime happening in the boonies is vastly different than downtown, but the drug selling is probably higher. Going by the police blotters for the towns in my area:
Number one crime in the biggest city: Car theft.
Number one crime in the country: Farmers shooting their pets.
But there’s definitely hella drug dealing going on in the cuts. Ain’t no cops, less likely to be seen.
Doing drugs in the boonies is a lot less likely to attract police attention and the related Police violence due to the ‘war on drugs’. So drug use is still very high, just easily overlooked and doesn’t impact others in the same way as dense cities.
No one wants to be downtown in any city. That’s where all of the trouble is, drug addicts, homeless, crime…
I avoid downtown at all costs in all of the cities near me.
There’s plenty of drugs and crime in the boonies, too

Ya, because I totally get stabbed by used needles and homeless people in the boonies…
