If you have a preference for living in higher violence areas, that's your choice, but I don't think many will share that view.

As one other comment had pointed out, the murder rate in SA is about 40 times that of England. It isn't even comparable, so I don't see how one can make a solid argument for "but violence-wise, SA is better despite having an x40 murder rate".
