Over the past few years, my family and I spent a month in Helsinki and a month in Singapore. Helsinki obviously has low crime, but there was a qualitative difference between the two. Singapore’s near zero crime unlocks **so much.** I did not anticipate how wonderful it is. https://t.co/0wQ6l9NMtP

Japan also has very low crime. Used to have even lower.
I remember being utterly shocked when an American woman who had visited there told me that if she got tired in Japan while she was backpacking through the country, even in an urban area she’d lean up against a building and get some sleep. Not a single soul bothered her even a little bit.
No one would or could do that in the US. You’d be robbed, attacked, or far worse.
Why the liberals think we should just accept a whole lot of street crime for “equity” or whatever bullshit I will never understand nor agree with.
