Excellent points, I’d add the counterintuitive:

* Pedestrian traffic - busier streets with more people mean less likely to be mugged vs the empty side street.

It's counterintuitive for a reason, and to be honest I have bad (not necessarily direct) experiences in both cases, and can't conclude which one is the best. Does a busier street really mean less likely to be mugged? Why?
