Base residents enjoy crime-free communities they compare to American cities

Evidence

George and his wife, Mary Reeves, who also worked on base, were living with their three teenaged children in a three-bedroom house with a large backyard in one of Gitmo’s suburban-style housing developments. “It’s like America. An American city,” George explained. But it’s “a city without crime. You don’t worry about your kids,” he said. “They can jump on the shuttle [which provides a free way to get around base], and you don’t worry about them.” — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 434
