I hate when people generalize as if raw numbers aren't only half the story.
What good is raw numbers if it gives zero context on who's being affected by said homicides... but we all know that answer (granted some like to be purposely obtuse).
Houston is on pace to have its highest number this century and since the early 90s. This is on top of having 400 last year. Not a good trend whatsoever and it’s strange because I don’t particularly view Houston as a violent city when I’m there.
DC is where it is at last year. West of the river, you wouldn’t think the city had that much.
Philadelphia - 299 (Official, media is reporting 302)
Quote:
@PhillyHomicides Earliest Philadelphia has recorded 300 Homicides during a single calendar year:
2021: Friday July 16th
1990: Friday August 17th
1991: Sunday August 25th
2020: Tuesday August 25th
NYC, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and Raleigh stand out as being very safe major cities.
Miami, Austin, Jacksonville, San Antonio, Charlotte, and Sacramento are all much safer major cities than given credit for.
Chicago, Houston, DC, Atlanta, and Nashville are embarrassing themselves as major cities.
Philly, Detroit, Memphis, Baltimore, Oakland, New Orleans, Cleveland, and St. Louis are sh*t hole major cities.
San Francisco not safe no more, Target had to reduce hours and now closes at 5pm due to safety ( regular closing time is 10p) . And 17 Walgreens have closed in San Fran citing safety concerns
Chicago at this point needs to call in the National Guard and Military, Chicago Police Obviously can't handle the Situation

Not true on sf, just looking at murder rates and crime statistics. Of course the media will place the bad finer on SF. But in reality, SF is just as safe as Boston, NYC and San Diego. In that same tier
