So thankful for the city

I have been following the horrific Cheshire home invasion case on the NYT site and have been deeply affected by it.

I am even more thankful now that I live in a big city, in an apartment building which has a 24 hour doorman. I have never wanted to live in isolation in the suburbs. This horrible, horrible case just confirms my feelings.

@Uptowngirl: Just because you may live in a big city, with an 24-hour doorman, doesn't mean you are not going to get robbed. There could be some shady neighbors in the building. Someone could come into your building, stab or shoot the doorman, and start breaking into every apartment in the building.

In fact, according to crime statistics in NYC, such crimes are on the rise. So, as long as you live in the city of NY, you are not safe. You may stand more of a chance to get killed in the suburbs. That is true. I'm just saying you are not immune to it because you live in the city.
