San Jose continues to have European-level numbers, with only 12 homicides so far this year (and a population of over 1 million). Among the largest 20 cities in the country, the second-lowest is San Francisco at 18. It would appear that the Bay Area has the safest large cities in the country...until you look across the water to Oakland, which is half the size of SF yet has nearly 50 murders.
SF is ok violent crime-wise, but there are a lot of petty/property crimes and car break-ins.

SF's problem is it's the leader in property crime. SF basically exported it's violent criminals to the East Bay and Central Valley.
Typical for Dayton. Looking at a homicide rate in the mid-high 20s.
My town of Roanoke, VA has 9 homicides so far this year, a little over five months in. To put that into perspective, Roanoke had 11 homicides in all of 2020.
A 31-year old rapper who goes by name FBG Cash was killed early this morning in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. Someone walked up to him while sitting in the car. He was a close affiliate with well known local rapper FBG Duck, who was also killed in a Gold Coast ambush during 2020 summer. Sooner or later, the whole FBG clique might end up being wiped out.
