Certain parts of those large urban areas, sure. It's not like every block in Chicago is a shooting gallery. I'm not dodging bullets every day on the way to my office in the Loop.
Most of the violence is contained to a handful of really shitty neighborhoods, like Englewood and Back of the Yards, which are both somewhere on the far south side (never been there, never going there). I have lived in a couple of bad neighborhoods on the north side in the past, but they're garden spots compared to those hellholes.
