It might be tough to handle, but you'll have to get used to people being nice. You'll pass drivers you don't even know who will wave to you with all five fingers, not just the one in the middle. You'll ask for directions and you'll actually get them. Department store clerks will not only tell you where to find merchandise, they'll walk you there. Public schools here are like private schools in the big cities.
Teachers actually spend more time teaching than maintaining order.
A pervasive trust factor exists which boggles big city folks. We work on the honor system, everything is price marked, so if you see anything you like, just put your money in the dish, and have a nice day. In Miami, the entire building would become a wide load overnight. Of course there is crime. As long as there are laws, there will be crimes.
