Personally not a fan of people acting like urban = queer paradise when the city closest to me has had some pretty significant increases in anti-LGBTQ hate crimes:
LACo Reports 2025 Is the Second-Highest for Hate Crimes in 44 Years [highest = 2024]
There were 102 anti-transgender crimes, the largest number ever documented in this report. A staggering 95% of these crimes were violent
Hate crimes targeting non-binary people sharply increased 275% from 4 to 15, higher than 2023, when we began tracking this targeted group
72% of crimes motivated by sexual orientation targeted gay men. This was the second-largest number ever documented for this motivation
A numerical increase is potentially worrying, but for urban/rural comparison you need to look at per capita statistics. (You should also keep in mind that these are reported, recognized crimes and there may be confounding factors)
Thank goodness nobody acts like this in the Big City.
They might live here
This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities
If it can’t fit an F150 how am i supposed to run over children?
You can use guns to shoot them. It is easier than running over with a car.
Random but I used to have a Fiat Seicento exactly like the one in the pic. Such a quirky little car it was.
Not a fan of statistics?

But yeah, only rural bad or something.
