I am scared of San Francisco, Los Angeles and to a lesser extent Seattle because of earthquakes that strike without warning while you are somplace like a subway car or under a freeway stuck in traffic. Oklahoma City can also be dangerous at certain times of the year because of tornados.

Atlanta I will say is a very dangerous city.
And I guess you could say that Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, Baltimore, blah blah blah are all 'very dangerous cities'; any major metropolitan area has neighborhoods with a relatively high amount of criminal activity. But to label the entire city of Atlanta as 'very dangerous' is IMO irresponsible. I have lived in this city (with an interruption here and there) all of my life and have never felt in danger in any neighborhood that I have resided in. Your statement would imply that there's no escaping it here.

labeleing any city as dangerous as a whole is irresponsible.
Everyone thinks Baltimore is a war zone. I could show you 20 neighborhoods off the top of my head that people are paying huge bucks to move to in Baltimore. Same with DC, Philly, etc there is no city in the entire US that is crime infested all over. honestly, every city has its nice parts, even if it is just a block
I'm more scared of places like where your from where the population is under 100 and they are all cousins.
Visit Tottenville Staten Island, right across the bridge, lots of cousins there.
