I have no idea who you are and what you do for a living, but it appears you are or have been living a rather dangerous live, so I wonder what benefits compensate for this?
If one lives in the wrong place, one does not choose whether to live a dangerous life (EDIT: short of moving away). OTOH, according to his profile the OP is in Stanford, which I wouldn’t have thought of as a hell-hole, so I wonder too.

If one truly has no choice, then that must be a hell of a wrong place. Stanford Prison? (SCNR)
Negative effects associated with moving would of course be a perfectly valid reason for not doing so, but likewise, that would have to be some pretty serious negative effects.
Er, yeah, I should have said “short of moving away”. (But even that is not an option if, say, you’re still living with your parents and not financially independent.)
I think in my case financial independence would still make moving away difficult, but because of my locations poor long-distance transit options and my disability (which I suspect is a rare combination in most developed countries). Granted, that combination also makes financial independence difficult.
On the upside, the risk of personal harm is incredibly low here, provided I don’t go around telling everyone that my dad is a Buddhist and I don’t go to church and I disapprove of how they ran the wickans out of town less than a decade ago.
