NYC safer than SLC?

[oxcoug]

So I never really feel concerned in either place.

But if I, say, end up on the Lower East Side late one night or decide to go hit do tour of taco truck tours in Queens then I definitely am keeping my peripheral vision active, if for no other reason that there is a schizoid homeless guy every 5 blocks in those neighborhoods who might do something to you without even knowing what he's up to.

No such concern in SLC - or am I missing something? Of course when I'm in SLC I'm probably never anywhere more than 10 blocks from Temple Square which probably isn't getting me into Sketchville.

Anyway - I know nothing about what data or methodology these guys are using, I just find the claim that SLC is more dangerous than a city that has Bed-Stuy, East New York, South Jamaica and the South Bronx.... not really buying it.

Giuliani successfully kicked out a lot of undesirables with various policies and they migrated to Jersey and places in Pennsylvania like Reading and Allentown. Their crime rates have skyrocketed over the last 10 to 15 years.

I work in #45 but I assume I live in #500. Ah the beauty of a 1 hour commute.

I wonder if Compton is going to take a #8 ranking lying down.

Yeah, something seems off. West Valley safer than SL? Ogden safer than West Valley AND Salt Lake?

Apparently Inglewood is up to more good since the last time they put the rankings together. They can't be happy about being #44 either.

These rankings are going to kill the tourism industry in those parts
