What one of the top 10 biggest cities do you feel is the most dangerous? Where just by walking down the street you'll feel like you're about to get mugged?
Well they're all going to have good and bad areas. There's around 1/3 of Chicago's residential areas that most people avoid (I do). The other 2/3 of the city is quite safe.
Over all I would say philadelphia.. although 95 percent of chicagos homicides are concentrated on the cities south and west sides. so just going by specific areas chicagos southside I would say especially the englewood neighborhood is the the most dangerous of any neighborhood in the top ten largest cities and probably the country...
I voted chicago because in an area that covers the same size as
philadelphia in square miles covering the south and west sides there are more homicides in chicago then philadelphia
San Diego, and San Antonio are not big cities. They just generously defined their city limits to include a larger share of their suburbs.
San Jose is a bit similar, but at least it's part of a large metro area (The Bay).
The list should be:
NYC
Los Angeles
Chicago
Washington DC (includes Baltimore)
Dallas
San Francisco (which would include San Jose)
Houston
Philadelphia
Miami
Atlanta
Applies to Houston and Dalls. Long Beach is more populous and way denser than Sprawlanta. You also forgot Boston, Milwaukee, Denver, and for god sakes Mesa, Sacramento, and Fresno.
I've been to every city on the list with the exception of SJ and felt safe in each. Perhaps I just have good street smarts?
Sometimes I think many of the posters on CD are a bunch of scaredy-cats. I mean honestly: "Where just by walking down the street you'll feel like you're about to get mugged?"
