It's more than just not knowing - a lot of popular media feeds the idea that cities are all warzones directly in to their heads, making up whatever details are needed to keep up the narrative. The average chud lives in a comprehensive media bubble telling them that everything is NYC 1970s bad but worse, all the time, when the exact opposite is true - Cities are safer than they've ever been in the US, overall violent crime rates continue to fall, Cities are generally not the most violent places in America by a good margin.
