11. There are absolutely NO homeless people. That’s because there are no homes. You can’t lack something that doesn’t exist in the first place, can you? The “giant piles of nighttime warmth” are much cheaper.
10. Not everyone is murdered as soon as they set foot out their front door. Many people are murdered at work, in flophouses, in theatres, in fancy hotels… but your front door is usually pretty safe, as long as you avoid the pit trap and the rusty spikes.
