Exactly people downvoting this, but they’re just desensitized to it. People get their wheels stolen all the time. Columbia is the most overrated suburb.

I don’t think people are desensitized it’s just there is crime everywhere/always and if you compare Columbia crime to neighboring areas crime… Columbia is a lot safer .

That’s the thing there isn’t crime in suburbs like this in other states. You just think it’s normal

The people that like Columbia probably live in some housing plan 800k+. Not people living in apartments
