agree

and honestly Bos/DC/Philly/SF in their cores are just about on par with NY - just not as large but mostly just as much city feel

some others might be Minneapolis and Pittsburgh

Good list. I think this is the list most people in the country would put.

I think a lot more people would rather live in the safest big city in the country (NYC), than crime-filled Atlanta.
1 in 4 NYC'ers have herpes

And other cities are exceptions? Anyway, do you think we all sleep around with one another anyway?

That's not as bad as having high crime. You can't avoid crime; you can avoid herpes, lol.

Seattle, and to some extent Baltimore, belong on a lower tier, yea? Also, I'd put LA with them. It's got large stretches of urbanity.

Clarifying: LA I'd put with the that lower tier where Seattle sits.

You can't avoid herpes if damn near every NYC'er have it. Atlanta is wayyyyy safer than NYC. Crime dropped in NY because everybody was too busy at the hospital getting herpes medicine

lol this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You're really trying to say you can't avoid herpes???? haha. I never knew I could get herpes by walking in a crowd of people.

FBI CRIME STATISTICS SHOW THAT NEW YORK HAS THE LOWEST CRIME RATE OF MAJOR U.S. CITIES - NYPOST.com



Sorry, but most people would rather live in and visit a much safer city...

Im sorry but NYC is ranked #1 in Aids, Herpes, and several other stds. Filthy yankees are just spreading stds everywhere.

Study: 1 in 4 adults in NYC have herpes virus

New York's HIV rate 3 times higher than nation's - CNN.com


NYC still is bad, not like it used to be but it still isnt safe walking around alone, riding the train late at night, walking around the hood, etc.

Wow, your news is so outdated...it was like that in freakin 70s and 80s, lol.

And let me just say this--I taught 2 years in the south Bronx (I'm white), and I have been teaching in south Jamaica since last November. 2 of the 5 highest crime neighborhoods in the city.There have been days where I had to stay and do things when it got dark out and I walked to the subway alone in the dark (and *gasp* took the train alone in the dark). No one ever bothered me or even looked at me. I have also stopped in the neighborhood before a Yankee game (the school was a mile away) in my street clothes, and no one cared.

I've walked through projects in Queens and the Bronx as shortcuts to get places, nothing ever happened to me. Never once saw anything bad happening anyway.

Way to stereotype a city based on a stereotype from 1985, lol.

Why would the FBI crime stats lie? You can deny it all you want, but the stats are here.
