My ex-home red state has double the murder rate of NYC. Not New York State, the city. DOUBLE. The stats where I actually lived were even worse (and I lived in one of the better counties in my area).

Nonetheless, always the tedious ritual of warnings and concern when I traveled to any "real" city. Like, guys, save that shit for when I'm coming back. I should be warning you, I'm leaving danger. And please stop watching cable news and listening to AM radio.

And it's likely even worse if you include traffic deaths. NYC is actually one of the safest places in the entire country https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-11-18/how-ar...
