When you are planning a move, it’s wise to know something about where you are moving to. What the taxes are like, what the weather is like, reliability of gas, electricity, phone, internet, public transport; all that stuff. And knowing if you are going to be regularly robbed, raped and murdered is something most people would want to know in advance, so they can plan accordingly.
