- Safest & most dangerous cities in the USA - 2006
I wonder if they're going to rebuild it? It was one of the coolest city's I've ever been to, very dangerous though even before Katrina..KnowMeByTrailOfDead wrote:

Hey where is New Orleans on the list????
How many of us live in one of those cities? and yes, I do live in macon. I just use a regional descriptor in my personal info since i wouldn't expect someone from spain to know where that is.

Hey I've lived in Trenton, Brick and Dover...
Ha! I just noticed Miami, where i was born, is right up there too. What does MD stand for in most dangerous metro areas? They consider the entire state of maryland a metro area?
wow hornet, i would have thought that someone with your vast knowledge of firearms would have jumped at the chance to make a free $20. seeing as how we live in the same city and all it would be real easy to get it......see my post before this one........
MD stands for Maryland, as the state is pretty much a big metro area... metro DC, metro Annapolis, metro Baltimore....
As a native of St. Louis, I'd like to point something out. Sure, the CITY of St. Louis is #1, but the metro area is not even in the top 25. Reason? The population of the city of St. Louis is very small compared to the population of the metro area. Sure, crime's high in the inner city. What city doesn't have high crime? Once you leave the suburbs (and don't go to Berkley or Normandy), its a pretty safe place to live.

las vegas is ranked 1 or 2 in the nation for car theft. some 29,000 a year or something @per captia of close or over 500,000. the whole of clarck county though has about 1.8 million people though, its all vegas though , small town{BMF}*Frank_The_Tank wrote:
Yeah JG, Gary is just a shit hole. Your right, you wouldnt notice the difference had you not passed a sign that points out your crossing the state line. Same goes with Michigan City, Crown Point, and all those other cities up along the lake area. Crown point is the nice suburb of Gary, and its only 30 minutes from Chicago. It would be interesting to see where Indy ranks at. It not the worst city obviously, but I know its definitely alot more dangerous than some people would think.I would agree lol. The parts of D.C. I have been too didnt seem too bad...but the surrounding metro areas are a different story. I stayed at a hotel in Maryland, a couple blocks down the street from the University of Maryland. A couple blocks in the opposite direction became a change of scenery. It went from a nice, decent college neighborhood, to bar covered windows, police having people at gun point at 2 separate locations within a block of each other. That area was pretty run down, which doesnt necessarily mean that its bad, but from what I gathered, the area we drove through was pretty bad.....or so it seemed.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Locate Washington D.C. on that list. lol
If you notice though, on that list, for the Metro areas, M.D. ranks number 1 lol, no town, no city, just Maryland.
yet mine has never even been broken into(knock on wood)
but ya this is a very very generic poll, and im sure that the european one is even more so!

well to be fair, our police chief had a good point, he pointed out that they make no distinction between murder and car theft in that study and asked "are you saying macon, ga would be safer if we had 150 more murders and 200 less car thefts?"

Damn straight, we're G's in the MD hood. My county (Prince George's) broke the crime record for the country recently. Luckily the only crime in my town occurs at the mall at night.{BMF}*Frank_The_Tank wrote:

Nassau-Suffolk County is one of the safest metro areas? Damn. I feel lucky.
We also have the highest paid police force in the USA. Probably why.

lol @ St Louis......So why is a bad place to live? Murder is the norm or something?
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
wtf DC 4th? Seemed like the safest place on earth when I was there! (its been some time but still) Then again I live in Athens...

looking at some of this sites other rankings... it puts Massachusetts as being the second or third smartest state in the nation. How can they say that when they have Boston???? It may be so, but I'd like to see their methodology before I comment further.
I can definitely attest that Gastonia, NC, and North Charleston were some pretty rough looking places, but then again we seem to have a lot of rough places in the South.
I guess the total ban on hand guns works real in D.C. That's why they got rid that law so the criminals wouldn't have so many easy victims
lol Cleveland is just behind Compton. I am ghetto now I guess since I grew up there.
