In my hood, someone fell off a bar stool. Two people were hit by runaway horses, another by the hansom cab. There was a stabbing ( accidental while preparing shallots), two shootings (both with duelling pistols) and a serious case of littering. If it gets any worse I'm moving uptown.
Ding ding ding.
I said I wasn't coming back to this thread but morbid curiosity lead me.
DJ's got this right and we fail horribly in most of the US. I have hansom cabs clip clop through my neighborhood all day and night on cobblestones. it's pretty awesome to hear in a historic building that turns 100 years old this January. crime is also scarcely a concern as regentrification is well under way. I was just discussing this with a female condo owner in my building tonight and she feels nary a threat downtown late at night. my gf is still a bit sketchy but we're going to buy a pimp pad with secure parking and rent our 2 places out.
