Do you really believe you'd be as safe in Brownsville, Brooklyn, as you would be in South Dakota???
Sigh.
You mention one area of the city that has a particularly high murder rate against an entire state. Sure, Brownsville is more dangerous than ALL of South Dakota, but NYC, as a whole, has a murder rate that is exactly the same as South Dakota.
I’m not sure that having fewer murders than the combined total of the US murder capitals would count as “glass half full”.
Are you sure that "glass half empty" didn't apply to Chicago being misportrayed as the " Murder Capital" over and over again for logging more murders than 3 times larger NYC.
