[quote=Anonymous][quote]  Why is there so much crime in Rochester?  [/quote]

Untrue trollery.  Rochester is actually a pretty safe metro area and city.

[i]How safe is Rochester, NY?
The metropolitan area's violent crime rate was lower than the national rate in 2020. Its rate of property crime was lower than the national rate.
8.8/10
Rochester has a lower crime rate than similarly sized metro areas, such as Pittsburgh PA and Portland OR.[/i]

As for the city of Rochester itself, the FBI puts its violent crime rate below that of most major midwestern cities (incl Chicago, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City MO, etc) and many southern and southwestern ones (Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Tucson), and roughly the same level as (much larger) LA and Dallas.

Which isn't to dismiss that there's crime in Rochester, like anywhere.  But it's dishonest to suggest it's particularly acute in Rochester when in fact the opposite is the case.
