In the town i live in we have no police officers. We have no law enforcement at all, once in a blue moon a county cop will drive through. We have very little crime here and most people get along.

I'd guess it's a very small town. I think it works when most people aren't strangers that you will never see again.

Yeah, you cant compel people to stay in small towns i know, but they really are very socially stable.

We go every year to a cottage in a very small community. Everyone knows everyone, and I love being there. Even the silly stuff between people is kind of nice.
