Jerry,
I was not trying to dismiss facts or anything like that. As I said, we are all passionate about how our hobby and life intersects and the consequences of that. WHAT you have been saying is true and entirely relevant. I just did not gather from the exchange that you and Norme were joking with one another as it seemed antagonistic, I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
As a somewhat related note, Boulder is home to the Colorado Buffaloes.(Nice comeback win against the Huskers on Saturday, I really thought Nebraska nailed that game away after they scored on the play right after the Colorado Flea Flicker Touchdown) Much like here in Bowling Green, OH, I imagine that the high influx of college students has a major impact on Boulder's crime situation on paper. (Seeing that men under 25 are one of the highest crime demographics).
It's also readily apparent that Bowling Green to the East of Main Street is for the college kids and less well to do residents, whereas Bowling Green West of Main Street where all the local residents live is incredibly affluent and non-diverse(read, lots of rich white people). I find that last part about West BG, where many of the college professors and staff live, very funny & ironic given how much the college loves to tout those nebulous labels of "Diverse and Inclusive" when describing the city as well as the institution.
