Im not sure what people are expecting you are moving into a city with a variety of people good and bad, living in closer quarters.

I love Bridgeport, but I have lived in some type of city my whole life and prefer this than living in rural area. Other towns have just as much issues- people just have more money to hide their problems & create a better image of their town.

As long as you are not out there flashing what you have & being aware of your surroundings you will be fine.

One of the qualities i have loved about growing up in cities is being exposed to different people,cultures & experiences. There are many hardworking people still living in the cities , who care about family & community & not everyone out there is a criminal.
