Also a lot of wealthy americans tend to fetishize New Zealand as a place they can 'escape' to every time a republican becomes president - so maybe this ruins the image they have of it.
Funny isn't it, that they think they would be welcome because they vote blue... New Zealanders tend to consider Americans undesirable immigrants regardless of their political beliefs.
If a crime occurs and people don't even bother reporting it because minor incidents never get looked to, how does that show up in the crime solving statistics?
