I have been to dallas and loved the culture and feel of the city. There was no hip hop vibe or culture when I went there.
Bigstick has private messaged me a few times here at first his agenda is to sell atlanta. I looked into it and was quickly put off by the high crime, the culture, the decreasing house prices and the poor race relations, weaker job market compared to dallas. In fairness Atlanta's weather beat dallas weather.
I will suit dallas or wherever I move to as I adjust and im dynamic and a reasonable person. But in my opinion there is not much difference to moving to detroit Cleveland or baltimore or st louis to atlanta. All 5 are the most dangerous cities and the only difference is atlanta is warmer.
Compared to Flint, Atlanta is very safe. Plus, people don't reccomend the east point aera. Many people reccomend the suburbs.
The point is those numbers were taken from the slums. The slums. You must not sample half of an aera, you must sample a whole aera, and when we look at a WHOLE aera Atlanta is safer than some of the most dangerous places on Earth and in America.
I'm re-quoting this again for the clueless London_Knowledge who doesn't know how to decipher statistics.

Yes but by that logic detroit is safe compared to flint.
You are stating the obvious about the suburbs no one has ever said they are unsafe. Whatever way you try and sugar coat it you can not get around the fact that atlanta is one of the most dangerous cities in usa based on aggravated assault, murder, violent crime, burglary, property theft. Repeat one of the most dangerous. FACT.
your silly point about the stats being taken from the slums is irrelevant as the whole lists stats will have been taken from the slums of each city then. All youve done here is prove atlanta has worse slums than 98% of the countries cities slums lol!
Oh dear. Atlanta in all 4 of these. Even number 2 in one of them lol. But I guess they only took the stats from the slums in atlanta and not every where else on the list haha.
Oh and dallas no where to be seen on any list...interesting bigstick mutiny and kingjohn
Wow, I tried to keep up with this thread but it just exploded today! I can't get passed page 17. Im just gonna make a few comments from what I read, lol.
Kathryn, quit using city limits for population count. Sorry for picking on you (cause obviously there have been a number of erroneous stats thrown around) but you surely know how that's a total misrepresentation when discussing larger regions.
Code L, Austin is not a tiny little town, not by any standard.
And I think LondonK's perspective of Atlanta is way off base, and I'm certainly no Atlanta homer. But whatever, it very well could be that Dallas is more suitable. Just wanted to offer myself as one non-local commenter in defense of Atlanta and the skewed portrayal it's receiving.
All I was trying to do was pick a method that was consistent. Please note that I did switch to metro area numbers later in the thread.
As for Atlanta - SHEEZE, can we give it a rest? The OP had questions about Dallas, Charlotte, and Tampa. This thread was never intended to be about Atlanta.
CODE LYOKO was V E R Y C L E A R on his opinion of small, medium, large, XL. This is his opinion, no need to change his opinion and Austin is small!
Well, alrighty then. For the record, I didn't ask him to change his personal opinion. He's more than welcome to it, as are you. I'm welcome to mine as well. I don't think a city of 1.8 million people is a "little, tiny town." A little, tiny town is Ruston, Louisiana.

Don't know how many times I can say this, London, you don't know Atlanta as well as I do. There's a large slum in West Atlanta where those stats were taken from. There's an entire metro aera to explore and live in.

The OP isn't interested in living in Atlanta. Get over it. The OP's questions are not about Atlanta. They're about Dallas, Charlotte, and Tampa.

But how do you know all those other cities are not beautiful apart from the one slum theyve had their data taken from lol?
It cant be one rule for atlanta and one rule for the rest of the cities.
Also show me where where the proof that all four of those studies was taken from that one particular west atlanta slum?

How do I know? One, i've been there, two I've checked the crime rates. You're asking for proof, I've given you proof MULTIPLE TIMES. City-data statistics point to a specific part of Atlanta that's colored in red as a high-crime aera. Outside of that, most of the cities are very low-crime and nearly non-existent of negative statistics.
