<strong>Great</strong> cities aren't just towns, on<br />
a bigger scale <strong>and</strong> with a higher<br />
density.<br />
One out <strong>of</strong> several designative<br />
points is that a city is full <strong>of</strong><br />
strangers.<br />
And somehow one needs to get<br />
a feeling <strong>of</strong> safety among all <strong>of</strong><br />
them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> insecurity <strong>and</strong> barbarism<br />
isn't a slum bound problem, it's<br />
rather a serious mater <strong>of</strong> quite<br />
residential areas.<br />
It doesn't appear more <strong>of</strong>ten in<br />
places where minority groups <strong>and</strong><br />
the poor live.<br />
In New York those sidewalks are<br />
considered one <strong>of</strong> the safest, <strong>by</strong><br />
day <strong>and</strong> night.<br />
Lower East New York 1909
