You can't have it both ways. Dunno where Chip resides, but the Tourist lives a short walk from a metro station and has never owned a gun or felt compelled to install a security system. He doesn't know anyone in his neighborhood who has experienced a break-in. Because a good community with good, active neighbors and solid zoning isn't going to go down the toilet simply because a rail can get people to and from the city there. The Tourist has heard it.
