Do some research first. Boston is more dangerous than Los Angeles now.
The geography of the two cities make this incorrect.
L.A. is huge and it encompasses many wealthy and middle class neighborhoods. Boston is small and it does not.
The City of Boston, as defined by the actual limits of the incorporated city, is purely urban in character, where L.A is a huge urban/suburban sprawl.
If you incorporated the cities and towns surrounding Boston to make it similar to L.A. It would be one of the top 5 safest cities in country.
So what do we call cities with 50,000 people? Really really big cities
How about cities with over 500,000? Ultra mega large big cities
Cities with over a million? Gigantic hugely enormous big cities
The Crips and Bloods have died down so much that LA's hardly the gang capital anymore. Chicago is now. The gang capital needs a high crime rate, of which LA doesn't have in recent years.
No I still think LA is the gang capital of America. Your forgettin MS-13, surenos, 18th street, nortenos. Those are still some of the most violent and infamous gangs in the nation. LA is still definatley gang capital of america. I would definately put chicago in second though.
I say major cities have issues with crime to a certain degree. Cities like Seattle, San Diego, San Jose, have relatively low crime problems where as you have cities like New Orleans, Detroit, Philadelphia,etc., have big crime issues.
You left out Orlando, Florida. The land of Disney is number 9 most dangerous city in America.
Big city? With a population of 4,902. I don't think that even comes close to a town never mind a city
