NOLA used to be quite terrifying. Yet downtown French Qtr is a different world now. You can walk Warehouse to Frenchmen Marigny 3am just fine. Canal St. is really the only dicey area

Both Manhattan and SF are now more dangerous than downtown NOLA imo, but NYC is tame compared to SF. SF is getting next level - almost comparable to Johannesburg ZA

NOLA has higher violent crime (but lower property crime) than San Francisco.
Oakland and San Jose usually had more violent crime than SF but founders knew better than to put an office there, knowing ppl will be regularly working well past midnight
