Meanwhile the crime rate in some of these cities is the lowest in years.

Is it just that they’re watching news max or Fox all day long?

I don't post on social media, but I was robbed at SF and NYC, also threatened by some mental guy in Harlem. I don't care about rate, I go by how safe I was in particular city. I am not American, and travel a lot, so I have my own list of safe/not safe cities.

Bad luck must follow you around the country. What were you doing in Harlem? And which section?

I lived in NYC my whole life and that's absolutely not the case.

Our opinion of cities is from “lived experience” (as you like to call it) not the news.

Are you rejecting the lived experiences of the people who have lived in urban Philadelphia, NYC, and DC?

No, we are saying you are anti-social p#ssies who couldn’t hack it.

Hm, I thought the Democrats were the party of tolerance of different preferences and embracing diversity of lifestyles.

I’m really shocked to hear your perspective on this issue

Democrats are generally intolerant of intolerant people. We have our limits.

And preferring to live in a rural area over an urban one is a clear example of intolerance.

No but living in a rural area and thinking you know best about urban issues and their solutions for certainly is weird. I don't pretend to know best about small town issues.

DP. Liberals on this forum *constantly* post their ignorant thoughts about rural areas and you know it.

I live in an expensive neighborhood in Manhattan and it is absolutely the case that everything is locked up at CVS. Target too.

Same thing in DC and suburbs.

Wes Moore was on TV telling Trump he's walking the Baltimore streets with twenty five people and the streets are safe. But, all twenty five people, men and women were Maryland State cops in plain clothes.

Yeah, who is he fooling.

DC is safe now. Only four people got shot the day after Christmas.

What about the woman murdered at a Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens, FL? The sad reality is that drug- and mental-illness-fueled crimes can occur anywhere, red or blue. As can mass shootings, but those always seem to be exempted from right wing talking points on crime.

How is that possible? The National Guard are still deployed in DC and Trump has told us there’s no more crime in DC.

On December 16 after the Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney's office dropped charges of malicious assault and brandishing a firearm of an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador and an alleged MS-13 member was accused of a fatal shooting the next day.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer for the person but the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office released him without notifying ICE.

Four people is less than five or more people in one night.

Residents shop at grocery stores with higher prices so as to keep out the unwanted.

The key to making DC safer is gentrification.

All the Home Depots and Lowes stores in the suburbs everywhere has all their drills and garden equipment locked up as well.
