They did have problems, Ponyville has not really seen more bouts of aggression overall than our world has seem to however, and while Everfree Forest has Timberwolves, in the real world we have mosquitoes, who infect people enough to be considered one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and which I remind you, Bill Gates invested in vaccination programs to address. Shark attacks on humans are not common, but things like getting bitten by snakes depending on where you live, is common, even if a snake is non venomous, a bite from any animal can still lead to infection if they penetrate our skin, pandemics are common also, we've had Ebola, Sars and recently COVID19 because of a disease from infected wild bats in China. All of which make Three's a Crowd episode look like nothing happened, now we have a potential outbreak from bird flu to be concerned about. Even in Applebuck Season episode where Applejack's mishap caused Pinkie Pie and other Ponies to become sick, does this mean food poisoning does not exist in real life? no, we know this, and this is a subject matter that gets brought up about food safety. Don't get me wrong, if I were in that fictional world, I'd be scared if I got lost in Everfree Forest, I mean, dealing with a Cockatrice would be risky as it was for Fluttershy, but this is why it is important to study and learn about the world we live in, knowledge is power, with knowledge you find solutions.

A common criminal who does armed robbery gets held up by police and ends up doing prison time if convicted in court of law, as they should be and often are, that's obvious, what I'm talking about is our two tiered system that allows convicted felons to be left off just because of their social status or favouritism, the double standards in our system is the problem. At least in Equestria they tried to address this problem, even with their own set of flaws and inconsistencies along the way like in the case with Starlight Glimmer, who clearly did not have a smooth recovery like Princess Luna did, Nightmare Moon is no more, and while Luna can still use this transformation, she does not do so for the sake of aggression anymore, an eternal night had ecological implications for Equestria so it was in their best interest to put a stop to that, and they did. Starlight Glimmer on the other hoof, did not recover so quickly and her emotional problems persisted into the later seasons, in one episode if I recall, she killed Discord, before using her magic to restore him to life. Magic or technology, who cares, they're both tools of destruction if left in the possession of the wrong people.

If Starlight Glimmer hadn't of intervened, Luna and Celestia would have failed to cooperate with each other on important matters in Royal Problem, and from where I'm sitting, unleashing the demon Daybreaker would be the last thing Equestria would have needed. Family squabbles should never be left to chance, and before anyone acts high and mighty, cannot do wrong about this, these situations can happen to anyone, it does not matter how well "disciplined" or "competent" people think they are, people have their breaking points, and when people snap, there is a potential for something to go horribly wrong, sometimes violence is the result, this is why it is imperative to break up squabbles instead of letting individuals argue and belittle each other constantly. In every profession there needs to be staff on duty for security, the same is true for royalty. We don't have magic in real life but that does not matter, people did not even need magic in real life and they still get away with malfeasance on a regular basis, people who don't change even if they get pulled into the criminal justice system, sometimes wealthy and privileged individuals get nothing more than a criminal record for felonies, and are allowed to walk the streets. Yes, people who are more dangerous and manipulative than Starlight Glimmer. Compared to that, I'd take living in Equestria any day of the week if I could, but I cannot.

We have wildlife in real life which can be considered dangerous as well, people swim in the ocean knowing full well the risks of riptides and sharks which could eat them, and while sharks do not typically attack humans, there are still recorded instances of this occurring, there's always a chance. What I am saying is, no matter where we are in the world, nature is not perfect. As for Ponies in Ponyville from MLP fiction, they're already aware of the risks of Everfree Forest I think, but they have to live somewhere and it may be one of the few areas in their world with fertile soil for all we know. Sometimes survival means we have to take risks, even if they are not convenient. Ponies are aware of the existence of predatory creatures in their world such as dragons and they do fear them, at the same time though, what can they do? they can defend their territory, sure, they are well within their right to do so, however they know there's a line that shouldn't be crossed because other creatures in their world have as much right to exist as they do, it's why they accepted Spike, knowing full well that he too is a dragon and will one day become an adult. As for the problem of agriculture, better to grow farmlands there, or at least in parts of Equestria where Applejack works in Sweet Apple Acres which is close to Ponyville, than to attempt to do it in a winter wonderland like the Frozen North which would kill a cropfield in an instant. If it wasn't for the fertility of the land from the lower latitudes it's likely Crystal Ponies would not even exist, I'm not as familiar with them as I should be, however I am sure they are not immortal. As noisy as Ponyville would be for me if I could exist in that fantasy world, obviously cannot, but for sake of discussion, if I did, I'd rather take my chances there, than risk hypothermia in a polar region. If I lived in Ponyville long enough I could probably adapt. The availability of food in that region is a considerable advantage, and getting to know Rainbow Dash could make weather somewhat predictable.
