And somebody was just trying to tell me “Rutland isn’t that bad”

It’s one of the best places to live in the state, but like in any location if you are involved with hard drugs it’s going to be dangerous.

Go give Chicago a try if you think Rutland is that bad.

You're seriously trying to compare a city of 2.7 million people with one that has 16,000?

Honestly it doesn't seem that far off. I just used the FBI's Uniform crime reporting program to see there were 74 reported violent crimes in Rutland city in 2021.

That's a violent crime rate of 467 per 100,000 people. Chicago had a violand crime rate of 639.7 per 100,000 people in 2021. Sure, it's a difference but they're much closer than I would have expected.

You can either take this to mean that Rutland is dangerous or Chicago isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I believe in the latter.

Yup. If you think it's that bad here then go give a Chicago a try. You pick up what I'm putting down?
