   I guess it would depend on how broke you were letting it affect your life   
    that way.   
      
   My insurance is charged by where I live. It is higher because I live in the   
    big city (5th largest in the US) and like your colleague's insurance they   
    consider driving in the big city more dangerous. But for me it was an   
    advantage. If they didn't have all those accidents the city might not have   
    hired me to (among other duties) investigate them. And then I couldn't have   
    fully retired at age 50. So living in the big dangerous city does have some   
    monetary advantages (sick huh)...  :-/
