Nowadays, I don't know if the areas where you would feel safe even exist anymore.
Got a Memphis zip code on my address, not a suburb, but a legit Memphis zip code and I feel perfectly safe existing.

I'm not going to pretend Memphis doesn't have it's problems, but it's not just some cess pool with no hope and no value. It's a lot like Mississippi in the fact that to an outsider, why would anyone want to live there? But then you live there and discover it aint half bad.
