More things have been stolen around us in Menlo Park, but there is not much violent crime.
Also, I've heard of teens (usually black) running through Stanford Mall stealing things. That did not used to happen around here.
In Los Angeles, violent crime has increased during the Government reaction to covid. Pretty badly actually.
Yes, the Chinese are very much into physical gold.
Collecting Gold is one of the most unproductive endevours and extremely risky.

You mean saving real money(gold and silver coins), living in a city, and not owning a gun is risky. But couldn't you also say that about cars, jewelry, and any number of items that burglars prize? What is your proposed solution, to own nothing and be happy about it?
Gold and silver have been a hedge against corruption and inflation since the dawn of economics. So at least 4,000 years. Know anything else with that kind of track record..?
Proposed solution is to have better tightly knit society and strong family. Caring for your neighbors and paying workers/citizens fairly is best safety network.
Hiding gold under mattress provide no safety in case of governmental breakdown compared to guns.
Stocks are other productive businesses or assets beat Gold accumulation any day.
Expensive insured car has better utility than gold bars hidden secretly. If you try to insure them then you are telling the thieves where to find them in case of data breach.

You can't be close to people if you own gold? Seems like another false dichotomy. Same with guns. How do I know? I own both. Insurance and stocks are just paper. They have no physical value whatsoever, except to burn for warmth, but that won't last you very long. In an economic collapse you think your insurance is still going to pay out? Or your stoc...
It sounds quite typical of the Bay Area, where a normal salary is $100K and a normal house can cost $2.5M.
Neither does Gold. It has no value in case of mayhem.

Car loses value rapidly even in normal times.
I don't think you should hate anyone except Fauci and Collins.
As for gays, there are a number of problems:
- gays molest children at far higher rates than straight people
- at least half of gays were created by this molestation of children, others were "converted" eg in prison or in San Francisco
- no one was born gay. there is no evidence of a "gay gene" and no way for it to persist evolutionarily
- there was no concept of innate or exclusive gayness in the ancient world, only endemic Greek pedophilia
- gays spread disease very effectively, particularly AIDS and anal cancers
- the gay "lifestyle" killed about 700,000 Americans with AIDS
- gays typically die decades earlier than others as a result of their lifestyle. it's literally worse for health than smoking
My issue with homos is threefold:
there was no concept of innate or exclusive gayness in the ancient world, only endemic Greek pedophilia
