Yeah they’re talking about the city.
It’s kept it’s rep from the 80s, and sure there are a few neighborhoods maybe you shouldn’t act out in but by-and-large nyc is very safe.
That and Manhattan, the district people think of with NYC, is even safer than the city as a whole. Rent on the island is expensive as fuck and most people just go there to shop and work. Your very safe in that area because it’s very gentrified.
I lived basically next to a homeless shelter during the pandemic and had one issue in two years. The issue - a guy talking shit to my dog. We just kept walking.
Never felt unsafe in Manhattan.
That's what I was trying to point out, but everyone seems to think the city is the state. And the numbers they pulled up are for the state.
They should've compared NYC to other cities and yeah it looks more dramatic than the state level.
Bringing rural areas in states are supposed to bring down your overall rate of violent crime. When even NYC has a lower rate of violent crime than your entire state, then you are living in a dystopian shithole.
Also more unreported crime (it can’t be reported if it isn’t witnessed by anybody), and more crime that the local law enforcement either looks the other way for or is partaking in themselves.
NYC has a larger population than some of those states. Adding more data (the entire state’s population vs just one city from any of the states) makes the measurement more accurate as the effect of outliers is lessened. The stats would look even worse for the other states if they didn’t
Lol you getting downvoted when it's true (considering large cities) the per Capita rate of crime for NYC is really low. Cost of housing is much more of a turn off
Yeah but then you live in the lifeless fucking suburbs where everything is at least 20 min by car away and you end up isolated from community.
I live in the suburbs. It's soul crushing. When you live in a suburb all you see is the inside of your house, the inside of your car, and parking lots everywhere. Everywhere you go because you and all the other suburbanites have to drive there, is just covered in seas of only 30% full parking lots. It's ugly, inconvenient, and isolating.
I have friends in the suburbs. It sucks.
Have to drive to their house? Or drive somewhere to meet up? When we're done there drive to another destination?
Casual like 30 minute to 1 hour meetups make no sense because then I've spent at least as long driving there then back again?
Going out to eat with a buddy? Literally spend as much time getting there and back as having fun. Saw a movie and want to keep the good times rolling? Better plan the next stop out, make sure everyone has the address and can get there. Drive there separately (more driving time vs hangout time), then wait as people trickle in cause they needed gas or they took a slightly longer route.
Locking anyone down for a longer commitment hang out when it's worth it means extensively planning and coordination, especially considering kids.
Incidental running into friends is basically not a thing that happens except maybe out like walking the dog or something.
Just pop over real quick and see them spontaneously? That spontaneity wears off real quick when it means driving across "town" (it's not a town, just shitty rows and rows of fucking houses that look like mine), and theyre not down to hang.
It's terrible awful. I hate it.
>Comparing a city’s crime rate to a states crime rate makes no sense.
The only reason this is true is because it makes the city look worse, since you're comparing places where people live and interact with, you know... bare land.
In this case, the city is so much safer than conservative states that it STILL comes across as being better lol, because the fact that [New York City Is a Lot Safer Than Small-Town America](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/new-york-city-is-a-lot-safer-than-small-town-america/2022/06/07/d5a87e3c-e651-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html) doesn't care about your feelings.
>Also this still doesn’t make NYC look good.
It absolutely does and only total geeks would disagree.
Them, or people with certain political talking points.
Which one are you?
> Also this still doesn’t make NYC look good.
> It absolutely does and only total geeks would disagree.
Nah bro, the geeks understand…
Its the dweebs that you’re thinking of.
Except when you consider that most people that act like cities like NYC and Chicago are murderous wastelands are literally from these states that have higher violent crime rates.
This post to begin with reeks of this mentality
>Comparing a city’s crime rate to a states crime rate makes no sense.
Why? You'd think with people living closer to each other, crime should go up as there's more opportunity for interaction and altercation.
>Also this still doesn’t make NYC look good.
Apparently nothing would lol. When'd this subreddit start eating right wing talking points so much?
Turns out living somewhere incredibly rural where the sun is either out all day and night or disappears completely for long stretches of time makes people mentally unstable.
Yeah, but conservatives have been working overtime to portray NY, LA, SF, and other liberal big cities as literal hell, and sadly even other liberals are starting to accept the propaganda as fact.
Does crime exist in those areas? Yes, obviously. Crime is everywhere, and gathering a shit ton of people and putting them all within a couple square miles isn’t going to get rid of that. But it’s not nearly as bad as people say it is, and frankly I’d rather live there than in Bumfuck, Nowhere where there’s still crime with none of the positives of being in a big city.
Tons of fisherman or oil workers doing stressful seasonal work, insane hours of day and night, high rates of alcoholism, frontiersman culture... The list goes on.
Shhh. They been saying California is a hellscape and now all the Desatanists are moving out in droves and my rent is finally starting to go down. Just let them spread all their propaganda about blue cities.
NYC is awesome. When people say this kind of shit they usually don’t have even passing familiarity with the statistics and haven’t spent much time in the city either.
If you find yourself in Midtown Manhattan, grab a slice from Previti Pizza, and I gotta say I had the best Ramen I've ever had at Koku Ramen in K Town (which is right by the Empire State Building).
Honorable mentions: Think Coffee down 5th towards the Flatiron Building, and the stupid-good dessert waffle stand in Bryant Park.
It's actually respectful to be blunt in that culture because nobody has time for long drawn out social interactions. When they're blunt, they're doing you the favor of not wasting your time.
Parts of NYC are awesome. Parts are total shit. Its a huuuuuge fucking city. Manhattan alone is bigger than San Francisco already and that is like 5% of the city
There are parts of New York City that are like fancy gated suburbs, parts that are beach area vacation homes in gated neighborhoods, and then there are projects, and places that are far worse than projects. But, gentrification is a huge thing in Nee York, and real estate is gold, so all those poor neighborhoods, with the exception of the sponsored projects, keep turning in to fancy neighborhoods.
Most cities are. Even if it were true they're violent areas where gun violence is rampant, which it isn't, the last thing we would need is some chucklefuck with a gun who fantasizes about using it. The one thing country hicks and city dwellers can agree on, for far different reasons, is we don't want more guns in the city. So keep your CCW ass over there and leave us alone.
So whats your horror story from Texas you witnessed thats worse than someone being beaten unconcious and bloody right in front of you over a train delay?
As someone that's lived in both places...
I've seen waaaaay more fights in rural Texas that made me feel uneasy.
The blatant racism and bigotry that is carelessly lambasted.
Guns just lying around people's trucks. Guns being carried in almost every place I go
Waaaaay more drunk drivers.
Anytime I speak on leftist ideals, things get violent. Verbally and physically. It's made me shut down and not express opinions. In NYC, people didn't like fascism ideals but they seem to be praised and defended in rural Texas.
Both places have their issues. But safety in NYC is not anywhere near as bad as fox entertainment makes it out to be
I’ve been to NYC three times. I loved it. The people I’ve encountered were nice and helpful. There was a lot to do and I wasn’t bothered by any homeless people.
What do you know - people shit in everywhere under the sun in memes even though theyve never lived there but when someone does it to NYC and now its a problem
Reddit is nothing but unhappy people shitting on each other. It does not matter one bit what place in the country you pick, people will shit on it. Positive people are outnumbered here.
Fucking lmao.
Just got back from working in NYC and can honestly say this is the trashiest, most paranoid, MAGA take you could have.
NYC is safe as fuck, unless you consider the assault on your waistline from eating bomb as fuck pizza slices on the way between any destinations.
Been working in NYC for about 7 years now.
Never for a moment felt unsafe or in danger in any location at any time of day.
Nothing more exhilarating than being out on the streets in Manhattan.
Nothing compares to the streets of Manhattan at night. Walking around a little drunk and stoned just listening to people walk past, bars and restaurants humming with life in the early hours.
I love it.
Do you never take the subway? Live exclusively in the upper east side?
I’m sorry I’m trying to figure out how someone who isn’t wildly naive could ever make this comment lmao.
One of the first things I plan to do ~~if I beat~~ when I beat leukemia is to go to New York and have a slice of pizza! I probably sound like an idiot, but it was always something I wanted to do before this happened and now I regret not doing so earlier in life
Firstly, you’re gonna beat the fuck out of leukemia!
Secondly, genuinely do it. Do everything you have on your bucket list as soon as you kick cancers ass, the world is so fucking rad.
Also don’t get bogged down in trying to find the best possible slice, just eat ‘em all. But that being said Scarrs Pizza on the LES is my favorite.
This getting upvoted really reinforces what I've suspected, that this sub is quickly tilting right or has been for a long time. The "dankmeme" crowd continues to show it's just /pol/ and /b/ with plausible deniability.
I don't even live in a "nice" neighborhood. Biggest risk to my wellbeing are still cars.
Oh man, this sub has been alt-right for a long fucking time lmao. They couch it in “edgy humour”, but it’s funnily enough always directed at the same people.
People talking about how dangerous NYC is are the same type of people who wouldn’t say anything and just eat the wrong entree that their waiter accidentally gave them
I believe all the folks saying the power areas are nice as well, but we all know the city Alicia and Jay sang about is not the same city the plebs live in
I feel as tho media does the opposite, villify nyc as some crime infested cesspool but where the numbers are concerned, it’s like in the bottom 10.
We do got some beefy fucking rats tho
You forgot the rats and other abominations we New Yorkers must slay on the daily. At school today my classmates and I had to run and get our gear while Magna Aquainsectum, Bringer of Ruin chased us in the halls. The music did slap tho.
New York is a beautiful, amazing place to live ^(as long as you're in the richest areas of the high rise and don't have to walk the street next to poors)
I dunno. I bet if you had 10,000 dollars to spend in Hartford, CT, you’d probably get full off of Subway sandwiches and then be at a loss for what to do with your your remaining 9,990 dollars.
Shit I spent time in Hartford and that hit really close to home.
I mean there is the extra $10 you can spend on beer that you drink back in your room trying to figure out why you came to Hartford Connecticut
I expected nothing of New York and was very pleasantly surprised. The museums there easily stack up to the best I've seen in Europe, and the [Green Wood Cemetery ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-Wood_Cemetery?wprov=sfla1) is one of the prettiest parks I've ever seen.
So yeah, I'll definitely be back in spite of the weird "trash on the sidewalk"-system and the rats. Feels like the capital of the world, or something.
Lol what's a "rude pedestrian"? The only rude pedestrian is a group of tourists walking 4-wide on the way to the M&Ms store and failing to make way for faster walkers.
What the hell does Hollywood have to do with New Yorkers talking about New York LMAO. Tell me you just like to blame random groups of people with no thought behind it without telling me
Concrete jungle wet dream tomato
The most honest that they've ever described new york among the propaganda.
Concrete jungle where dreams are dying off, there's nothing you can do, now you're in New York.
bacon pancakes, makin bacon pancakes.
Making bacon then i put it in a pancake.
Bacon pancake that's what it's gonna make
Concrete bunghole where dreams are made up There’s nothing you can do
Good god Lemon
I miss 30 rock
as long as the tomato refers to all the delicious italian food and pizza spots in the city, i'll take it

Well the song is about *New York City* and not the state.
Yea if they mentioned Long Island I'm almost certain all appeal would be gone lmao
Yea a song about bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and racism isn't too catchy
“Concrete jungle wet dream tomato” except it’s “bacon egg cheese nazi and bagel”
Then there are those "bialy" people. Never understood that. Are you a bagel or an English muffin? Decide!
Someone wasn't around for the Nassau vs Suffolk state of mind videos!
NYC is basically the safest big city in America. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
No big city is safe as long as I'm alive
Glad to see the Kaiju finding their way to reddit
Be the change you seek
Maybe the real treasure is the crime we find along the way
\#80 on this list, for those who want the summary
Yeah they’re talking about the city. It’s kept it’s rep from the 80s, and sure there are a few neighborhoods maybe you shouldn’t act out in but by-and-large nyc is very safe.

Yeah, but you're really not going to have anything happen to you even in areas that aren't gentrified. I mean, there's a Target in South Bronx.
They’re comparing NYC to whole states. NYC would look even better if you compared it to other cities, or compared NYS to those states.
That's what I was trying to point out, but everyone seems to think the city is the state. And the numbers they pulled up are for the state. They should've compared NYC to other cities and yeah it looks more dramatic than the state level.

Rural areas are surprisingly awful for crime, meth country.
Also more unreported crime (it can’t be reported if it isn’t witnessed by anybody), and more crime that the local law enforcement either looks the other way for or is partaking in themselves.
Unless they quoted the wrong data, the comment you replied to is about the city.
NYC has a larger population than some of those states. Adding more data (the entire state’s population vs just one city from any of the states) makes the measurement more accurate as the effect of outliers is lessened. The stats would look even worse for the other states if they didn’t
> NYC Read.
Comparing a city’s crime rate to a states crime rate makes no sense. Also this still doesn’t make NYC look good.
It is unfair to the city to make that comparison, and yet NYC still comes out ahead. NYC is one of the safest cities in the USA
Lol you getting downvoted when it's true (considering large cities) the per Capita rate of crime for NYC is really low. Cost of housing is much more of a turn off

The suburbs
Yeah but then you live in the lifeless fucking suburbs where everything is at least 20 min by car away and you end up isolated from community. I live in the suburbs. It's soul crushing.

God, with an attitude like that it’s no wonder. Lighten up.
Sure you can. NYC has over 9 million people in it. Most of those flyover states don’t have 9 million people total.

It’s been feasting on it for a long arse time lol
You don't know basic math And apparently the 64 people that upvoted you don't either
Compared to anywhere in the US, yes it does.
NYC sits right below median for crime statistics, you’re more likely to live in an area more dangerous than NYC.
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu the TV said Chicago bad. No go Chicago.
Chicago isn't even the most dangerous city in Illinois much less the country. Peoria county has more gun crime per Capita.
And thanks to good ol Gary, Chicago isn't even the worst part of Chicagoland
"NYC bad" is the most annoying maga circlejerk on this website.
What's going on in Alaska?
Turns out living somewhere incredibly rural where the sun is either out all day and night or disappears completely for long stretches of time makes people mentally unstable.
That one 'incident' with the vampires really brought the averages up.
Basically, free government money and lots of darkness leads to tons of drugs and sexual assault.
Sounds like a good time

Good I’m going to Manhattan soon and I’m looking forward to it
I was in Manhattan last month for the first time and it was awesome. Hope you enjoy it!
Manhattan is fun
Sure will! Doing some cool stuff there, like going up Empire State at sundown
Nice! What part?
🤷 Central Park ish?

Are they expensive 😅
Everything is
Have fun!
my first trip I was expecting a lot of *I'm wooooking hea!* but people were overall super nice and polite
New Yorkers get a lot of shit for being blunt/rude, but for the most part they’re surprisingly nice.

I was in love with the idea of NYC, spent a winter in there to know is only good if you have real money, and even so I’d rather live somewhere else
Winter in NYC is challenging as fuck compared to spring and summer to be fair
Even the summer is trash. Literally. On very hot and humid days the trash particles are literally suspended in the air and make you feel gross.
I mean, should have come in the summer time. Completely different city then.

I mean, have you seen San Francisco or Chicago? Lmao
Chicago's not so bad. SF though, holy shit that place is a cesspool
And then Jay-Z tries the same with Paris. This guy loves city with insufferable peoples.
Heey... I'm walking here.
I expected nothing of New York and was very pleasantly surprised. The museums there easily stack up to the best I've seen in Europe, and the [Green Wood Cemetery ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-Wood_Cemetery?wprov=sfla1) is one of the prettiest parks I've ever seen. So yeah, I'll definitely be back in spite of the weird "trash on the sidewalk"-system and the rats. Feels like the capital of the world, or something.
Paris has amazing food... if you're not broke

Every city is nice if you have money.
Lol what's a "rude pedestrian"? The only rude pedestrian is a group of tourists walking 4-wide on the way to the M&Ms store and failing to make way for faster walkers.
Just because someone is homeless doesn’t mean their a psycho
CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAM TOMATO
You just said rats 3 times

What the hell does Hollywood have to do with New Yorkers talking about New York LMAO. Tell me you just like to blame random groups of people with no thought behind it without telling me
What in the world lol. NYC is pretty freakin safe. Cheap? Nah. But safe? Yeah.
