I still don't think of Cape Coral as a Metro City. Look at Miami, Jacksonville Or Tampa and you will see Cape Coral is just land mass. It lacks alot of the infrastucture a city of that size needs. But you have to give the city credit for being safe.

yeah...you have to asterik this. It doesn't include hundreds and hundreds of smaller cities. So, no, Cape Coral isn't the 2nd "safest" city in FL. There are dozens and dozens of smaller and mid-sized towns that are much safer. When i lived there from 2002 to 2008, i thought the crime was kind of high. Not out-of-control Miami high, but high nonetheless. I attribute a lot of that to the fact home prices were ridiculously low, attracting many Ft Myers and Lehigh residents over and bringing quite a bit of criminal activity with them. I still know people who have homes in the Cape who have no business owning a home.

It was bringing in a bad element, but since the bust a lot of that element left. The crime rate has had double digit drops 3 yrs straight. Hats. Off to the people who have stayed , most would have expected crime to have skyrocketed but it did just the opposite. Case of addition by subtraction.
