"Technological singularity will turn us into super humans some time in the next 12 years, according to a Google expert. This might sound like science fiction, but Google's Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil has made 147 predictions since the 1990s and has an 86 per cent success rate. Kurzweil says when we live in a cybernetic society we will have computers in our brains and machines will be smarter than human beings. "
More and more I am being convinced that we are to become the Borg homeworld. Also more and more I want to go off grid and move to a remote part of Alaska.
How about a remote part of Jamaica? I don't do well in cold weather.

I'm not worried about safe. I just don't want to be {moderated} cold!

@RojoLoco St Louis is honestly pretty tame. The locals like to think it is bad, but is isn't. Not by a mile.

Cleveland, OH proves your rule! Why? Because the entire city is the "south side", it has a different section called "The Flats". Guess which is the bad area of town.

Well, downside up in a manner of speaking. It's more opposite than direction in that we don't have such large swathes of "South side of $city is dangerous". It's more like pockets dotted through out the cities.
Even then, it's not that bad. Sure we have our road ragers, meth heads and general people problems but we don't have the "Don't turn down that street if you want to live" problems as far as I know. I've not head of that anywhere.
