What about the meth heads shitting in the streets of the small town? Rampant assault and murder rates. What about all the drinking and driving killing people in America. No, no, it’s Nyc that’s scary.

They have laws against those people.

When meth heads get arrested, there isn't an army of losers protesting the sheriff the next day claiming it's cruel and unusual punishment and demanding the city give them a free house for them to do meth in.

Enjoy your Alcatraz pharmacies while they're still open.

NYC is safer than many cities for sure.

But there are approximately zero meth heads shitting in the streets in small towns in the US.

I have never once seen a person shitting in the streets in a small town. I saw it within 24 hours of visiting Portland. I’ve never seen that in NYC either to be clear.

Yes, crime in small towns is bad too. Do we agree?
