Truth in Webber's Writings

I think that Webber has it fully right when he states, "our failure to draw the rather simple conceptual distinction between the spatially defined city or metropolitan area and the social systems that are localized there clouts current discussions about the "crisis of our cities." I think that this stands very true for those who are not living in the city. Those that live away from the city, meaning 3-4 hours away, think that the city is a dangersous places. There only experience of the city are those who have been there or through the media.
