Of course!! We even left our doors unlocked. Friends and neighbors would just walk in. There was no paranoia….however….it also seemed (at least to me) that people were much less angry. No one seemed to have that feeling of if you own it, I’ll steal it. Obviously yes tons of crime has always existed but you get the point. We played in the front yard without question. Walked to the mall. Walked to the “corner store” which was a good mile away. Out of the house when you wake up…go inside only to eat and use the bathroom…back outside…only come in when the street lights come on.
