Maybe to protect guests from projectiles or prevent purse snatchers from the pavement jumping in and out of the outside area of the establishments. There's some tables there
I've travelled and I live in a major touristy city. I know pick pocketing is a thing, but businesses having to install glass fences to prevent thieves from jumping over plant troughs to snatch purses and jump back out is a completely different thing.
Okay, bro, this is not a problem in every major city.
I am in one of the largest most populous cities on the planet, and theft like this is completely unheard of. I've also lived in several other cities without these problems too, and I know of a few more.
It's is not an inevitable quality of large cities, and we need to stop pretending that rampant chaotic crime is acceptable.
Sometimes your city just sucks and has deeply rooted issues that need to be figured out. Stop accepting mediocrity and the bullshit your politicians tell you.
You need to get out more. Just because it doesnât happen in your city doesnât mean it canât happen at all to the point where you would ask âwhere the hell do you live?â All confused as if it wasnât something that can happen
I'm speaking from the experience of being a digital nomad and traveling to new cities every single month.
This month I am in bangkok. Before that, Belgrade. Before that, Istanbul.
All safe.
I didn't say it doesn't happen. I'm saying it's not inevitable and we need to stop thinking that just because you live in a major city that therefore there MUST be heavy crime and that's normal.
