MSA is better. You typically live in one city and work in another. And you take advantage of the shopping, entertainment, doctors of the whole area. Not just one city.
Salt Lake City and perhaps Sacramento. However neither of the cities are very interesting. They have boring downtowns and the environment isn't too great.
Almost all of the safe cities are boring, such as San Jose.
Eh, definitely not Seattle. Relatively safe compared to most American cities but San Diego, Salt Lake City and several others on the list feel safer and are actually safer.
From my experience it's San Diego or El Paso. San Diego really does feel different than almost any other big US city I've been to. The vast majority of the City has a very safe and peaceful vibe and crime rates are very low. Still a really fun place, so the idea that all safe cities are boring (as someone said earlier) is flat out wrong.
Then Detroit, Camden, and East St. Louis must be the funnest places in the nation. Who knew?
