I live in a small town and we are a bit less hostile to each other

I lived in the big city.
We are not talking big city hostile vs small town charm. Do you know
everything your neighbor does behind closed doors?
Should your next door neighbor's teenager set up p2p file sharing with
a bunch of music using your connection, the RIAA will be knocking on
your door, not his. Also, should they download any illegal pr0n, law
enforcement agents will be knocking at your door, not his.
While I live in the suburbs of Washington, DC, my family has a place in
western Maryland in the "mountains" (if you can call 3,000 ft
mountains). Percentage wise, there are just as many people I fully
trust around my home as there are in the mountains, but there are more
people per square mile around my home, therefore more "questionable"
people. Yes, there have been murders near my house. Remember the DC
snipers a couple of years back? Most of those shootings were within 2
miles of my house. But I have also been run off of our land in the
mountains at gunpoint by hunters who did not have permission to be on
the land.
