Nice to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

Did I mention it's the murder capital of the United States?

Meh. Yes, sure, by statistics. But those rates come from neighborhoods that most likely don't have a lot of six-figure salary tech workers in them.
It is the country's third largest city. So by volume it may well be the murder capital. But the murder rate places it like 10th, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...
It has a lot of murders but the QoL crimes seem to be significantly less severe than they are in San Francisco.
