I don't really take this as a recommendation to live in the a very high crime area. In fact, Philip says "None of this is to suggest that you ought to live in a dangerous neighborhood."
The whole point is to think about the decisions we make. There must be balance between commute time and crime rate, and I think the author did a good job of pointing out a potential flaw in our thinking.
