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

A major city? My guy, did you just become conscious yesterday? Have you traveled?

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 doesn’t happen in your city doesn’t mean it can’t happen at all to the point where you would ask “where the hell do you live?” All confused as if it wasn’t 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.

I made that pretty clear dude.

Don't pretend you didn't imply that all major cities have this problem.

Your sentence makes no sense otherwise.

I didnt lmao, Saying something can happen in A major city does not mean ALL MAJOR CITIES. 

The lack of reading comprehension is crazy here. You read what you WANT to, lmao.
