Sure. I imagine that many families moved to Sandy Hook, CT for safety and security. There&#x27;s no guarantee in life. There&#x27;s also relative measure: some of the old timers where I live feel the neighborhood has &quot;gone downhill&quot;. Some people are frankly just happier living in a bustling and unstable place where they simply accept they can&#x27;t let their kids go outside unsupervised until they&#x27;re 18. I believe we&#x27;ll generally be happier with where we live over a multi decade span by identifying our personal priorities and chasing the expected value. It&#x27;s the author&#x27;s judgmental and absolutist position that I take issue with, that things like tight uniform zoning, &quot;parking first&quot; space, and hierarchical traffic distribution must &quot;suck&quot;. They in fact suck <i>in his opinion</i>.
