How did you identify the actually dangerous parts of the city? Just the poverty and news headlines heuristic, or?
I've thought of wanting some sort of self defense means for walking alone at night/traveling alone, but haven't figured out what. Would a pepper spray be sufficient? Hm.
Yeah, that's a big consideration, I would be careful in parts of Western Sydney. Frankly, a non-insignificant part of it is also just me going off vibes; it's generally not hard to tell by sight alone which parts of the city are less friendly or maintained and where you might have a higher risk of being jumped. Some element of common sense in there too. Don't walk down back alleys where your avenues of escape are limited, for example, make sure you have ways to remove yourself from the area if a situation arises. Sometimes I do flout that rule, but it's not hard-and-fast, it's just one element that can be used to evaluate on the spot. It's all pretty ad hoc.
