New Orleans has one of the highest murder rates in the country. It's not a safe place.

You misread - they fled to New Orleans from Portland, they weren't trying to get away from the murder rate.

Besides, NOLA is fine. Murders aren't evenly distributed; there are plenty of perfectly safe spots and lots of safe activities to do.

In 2019 they were at at all time low. I’ll still take it over Portland where people treat me like I don’t exist or as a means to an end.

I’ll take “treat me like I don’t exist” over “make me not exist” any day. ;-)

Barring a car accident a few months ago no one has ever laid a finger on me or made me feel unsafe here.
