Also, like i may have said in some earlier posts, I took several nice long hikes through Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Crystal River, Marathon, and Key West and encountered nothing crimewise.

Central FM is ruff but the rest of it seems ok. Lehigh Acres seems to be like Iraq and drawing all the criminals out that way. |

it is very high in Ft. Myers when I lived in Naples I would hear nightly about shootings, stabbings, murders etc in Ft. Misery er Ft. Myers. Its creeping into Lehigh Acres too, they just found 3 dead men in a car in Lehigh they're calling suspicious I believe. Kids are stolen, cars broken into etc. Ft.Misery went down the drain years ago

Strange, it also seems, I also regularly watch the program "World's Wildest police videos", and never seen any episodes filmed in fort myers or cape coral. I did, of course, see numerous episodes in west palm beach, orlando, and jacksonville, as well as a few in tampa and miami.

Google "Safest cities in America". NYC is #1 in cities with population over 500k and #145 overall. Only 9 cities in Florida are ahead of NYC on that list...yes, NYC with a population of OVER 8 million. Last edited by RECD Designz; 10-11-2007 at 11:11 PM. |

NYC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country now. Why? Credit 9/11for that one. Every where you go you see law enforcement, be that local, state, and federal. Just imagine how many are in plain clothes that you don't see?

I live in a gated community in a nice area so its not the "real" Miami. I drive 10 minutes to the gym (la fitniess in Doral) I have never seen so many cars stolen or broken into as that parking lot. I actually stopped going before work due to that. It was the norm every week to see broken glass and police there taking reports. Its like under cover of darkness car burglurs strike . I do find Miami crime ridden. Miami's violent crime rate is the highest in the nation (robbery,assault) but low in actual killings according to statistics I came here thinking that was wrong but I believe I was wrong lol . |

I lived in nice quite area like most live here and than moved to same quite nice area in Miami/Doral. I have lost count of how many cars have been stolen in area alone. Not in the community itself but parking lots of mall,gym,etc. Its unreal . I found NY better but thats just me I moved due to cold as hated it and hate it or not plan to go back. Miami has its good points but for the population count the theft/robbery rate is sky high. |

I agree 100% not to mention NY has something that I dont think Florida has. Hidden cameras that are placed in certain areas to watch car thefts,etc and switched around to different areas. The subways which are now very safe at ANY hour are full of plain clothes undercover police . |
