Same amount of time? I have 20 restaurants within a 30 second walk. There also is never, ever the diversity of food or entertainment.

Also, many small towns have higher crime rates per capita than cities.

Per capita crime rates do not matter. What matters is the question "How likely am I to be the victim of a crime if I live in area X?".

Depending on the type of crime, you are around 4x as likely to be the victim of a violent crime if you live in a city[1].

Per capita rates is a statistical curiosity. Being 4x more likely to be shot is what people actually care about. When the population density is 10 - 100x different, a small difference in per capita rates is meaningless.

20 restaurants within 40 meters (120 feet for those in less civilized countries) from the ground floor of your building?

That seems like hyperbole unless you live above a shopping complex.
