You're not wrong, however when it comes to NYC statistically it is the safest in the US. However this is mostly looking at murder/capita.

It does not account for the 1000s of illegal small assaults that happen daily. Anyone spending time in NYC will eventually run into this.

But then you get the one person who says "I've never been mugged" or "I've never been punched" or a journalist vists for a day and says it's all fine.

Meanwhile there is a lot of stockholm syndrome of what QoL people put up with on a day to day basis.
