You have to get out of town before it"s too late. Taxes are brutal the crime rate is soaring, the schools are jungles and the air is poison.But where can you go? Is there any place in America that"s still safe to live? Where the American dream hasn"t turned into a nightmare?The answer is yes! After traveling more than 20,000 miles for nearly half a year, David and Holly Franke found some 50 communities scattered across the country where the living is good and folks rarely lock their doors.To help you decide which of these communities is just right for you, the authors interviewed hundreds of City officials, policemen, real estate agents, newspapermen, merchants, students, housewives and retirees.The in-depth information they uncovered-warts and all-has been carefully arranged to help you make up your mind before you call the moving man and make your escape. For each community in the book, you"ll find up-to-date data, helpful and disarmingly candid.
