As both a US and Italian citizen I have a bit of a unique view on this. From what I've seen, unless you regularly engage in criminal activity in the US, you really aren't much more likely to get murdered in the US than in the EU. If you avoid stupid people in stupid places doing stupid things you can cut your chances even more. But if you visit New Orleans, LA, don't get drunk and carry a gun. Seriously.

The one about Baltimore wasn't about just one part of the city. It's the entire city. I lived there for a while. We had $500k+ homes on one side of the street, owned by doctors and nurses that work at Johns Hopkins, abandoned homes on the other side of the street with drug deals going down in the alley behind them. But there was a silent understanding that they wouldn't cross onto each others' side of the street, and they would leave each other alone. So, as things deteriorated, the two classes split. Now the city is basically run by petty drug dealers, in broad daylight, and everyone else moved out.

Millie, I was at Graceland in Memphis in 2022 with my family. It’s fine; you’d be completely safe. Gangbangers usually stay away from the tourist attractions. And Graceland is AMAZING.. and I’m not even a huge Elvis fan! You could easily spend all day in there, since it’s a self-guided tour.

Some key takeaways: 1) if you avoid the most dangerous cities, the US is pretty safe, and 2) if you avoid the worst neighborhoods in those cities, it isn't extremely dangerous.

@BenShapirosLowerLip Год назад

Exactly this. Most people from other countries see the "mass shooting" numbers and think It's spread across every single part of America that involves some sort of random mall or school shooting. But in reality it's most common for criminals to shoot at other criminals in the ghettos of large cities with guns they possessed illegally that inflates that number.

@FEARNoMore Год назад

Yeah vast majority of those mrdrs are in particular cities, areas. Don't participate in criminal activity in the first place & avoid them at night especially, it's all good.

@neilpatrickhairless Год назад

Actually, its the opposite. Rural areas often have far more crime and murder rates per capita than cities. True, you don't wanna be walking through Leakin Park at night but you don't wanna be walking through the Pisgah Forest at night either

@brandonb.5304 Год назад

The key takeaway is it's all about poverty: areas with high poverty, urban or rural, are going to have higher crime and violent crime rates. The more affluent areas aren't crime free, but you're far less likely to experience violent crime in those areas than you are in poorer areas.

I grew up in the "hood" area of Indianapolis, and it's the same for all these cities, it's only certain parts that are dangerous. Most of the city is fine and even the bad parts, you usually won't have a problem if you're just passing through. I lived my first 17 years in a bad area and wasn't shot but have 4 friends that have been. Luckily, they all survived. God forbid that anyone is shot, but if you are, trust me, you want to go to the hood hospital. They see lots of gunshot victims and know how to save them. Most murders in these areas are from gangs and/or drugs.

@branplore Год назад

I agree Baltimore gets a bad rep because of dense rowhome areas where there are dilapidated housing which makes it look worse than it is. Most of the city in a larger area are safe and nice. Most visitors don't even know the city outside the areas surrounding downtown. Which is where most of the bad areas are. Nice areas there too around the waterfront and parks but North Baltimore is where the city shines. Sidenote Baltimore suburbs are great too. Some of the wealthiest and most successful people of color in the nation come out of the Baltimore region or state of Maryland. Also, Baltimore history on politics and race is why the city is like it is today from the white house to the governors, to the mayor's office. In 1911, the city council passed the first housing segregation ordinance in the country directed at black people further influencing the white flight from the city once civil rights and desegration were established piled on by the industry sector shrinking across the country people continued to leave. Key word disinvestment and more focus put on the DC suburbs than Baltimore City over the past 15 years now.

@mitchellgross2568 Год назад

I'm from the suburbs of Portland Oregon. The downtown area is nasty with the drug and homeless situation. Violent crime comes with that. When I moved here 32 years ago that stuff was almost nonexistent

@mortimerbrewster3671 Год назад

I visited Baltimore years ago and was one of the few times in my life that I was nervous about the neighborhoods I was driving (the looks I was getting let me know getting out of the car was not a good idea) - I was looking for touristy attractions. Most cities keep those areas clean but not Baltimore. Just for perspective, I lived in LA for many years and ended up in some of the sketchiest neighborhoods a few times (easy to do when you go downtown). Even in the worst of those neighborhoods I never felt as I did in Baltimore.

@LosTalksPats Год назад

El Salvador is in the middle of Central America and as a result, a lot of major hispanic gangs formed/resided there. The high number of murder rates are a result of gang on gang violence, so the number is definitely skewed. As of 2022, the new president has placed EXTREMELY heavy sanctions on gangs (putting them in prison) and the country has decreased in violence and murder an insane amount. I have gone there every summer since 2018 and it is such an amazing and beautiful country and I highly recommend visiting! :)

I still got to meet with both occasionally and they both are able to talk and discuss matters in a calm and respectful way. Which I am very happy that they can still get along while being divorced. My father still lives in NJ but its getting too expensive. He is thinking of moving soon too. A meal for both him and a co worker was over 30$ at a burger king. This past year before the holidays. My state I live in currently is doing a little better with living costs but inflation hits everywhere.

We go into Baltimore all the time. Most of the city is safe, and there is a lot to do there. The vast majority of the murders are in smaller war zones in the really bad areas, which have no jobs, and are largely food deserts. The infrastructure and housing in many of those areas is decrepit, and the city's tax base cannot afford to repair it. The primary occupation in those areas is selling drugs, and the drug dealers are well armed. Baltimore has suffered since the 1950s from a steady loss of heavy manufacturing jobs, discriminatory housing policies (federal and state), and lack of investment (except in the Inner Harbor and some waterfront neighborhoods like Fells Point, Canton and Federl Hill). That said, there are very nice parts of the city to live in, and it is a pretty cool and interesting city overall. It's largely a tale of two cities in one.

I live in Philly, which has a high murder rate, but as others have mentioned, the danger heavily depends on the neighborhood you live in (and is very much influenced by socioeconomics). I live in a section of Philly where we mostly just have petty crime and it's otherwise safe. My neighborhood has no murders and very, very few violent crimes. It's very rare. Kids still ride their bikes and play in the streets, neighbors know each other and look out for one another. In the past, I've walked home from the bus after getting off of work at 1am and I've been completely fine. Crimes are usually committed by outsiders traveling to the neighborhood, not by residents of the neighborhood. Now, if you go just a few minutes down the avenue, you'll be in a section that is much more dangerous and I sometimes hear gunshots from over that way. My neighborhood is majority White but there is a good amount of diversity (I'm Black). Most people here are working class to upper middle class, many are professionals and have at least a college degree or have learned a trade. The more dangerous neighborhood next door has a high rate of poverty and lower education.

@billcame6991 Год назад

My first job out of college was in Philadelphia from 1989-91. I worked at the Navy base as a DoD software engineer. I lived near Rittenhouse Square on the 22nd block of Walnut Street. It was fascinating how the disparity between rich and poor was just a short walk towards the south. My first year there, there were 500 murders and the second year 600. BTW, that skyscraper that caught fire, I was able to see that from my apartment window. The homeless population was so huge that there were parts of the underground at City Hall that even the police were afraid to venture.

I lived in North St. Louis for a few years a while back and North County is crazy but it's nothing compared to the East Side but some people don't consider that to be part of St. Louis so that might be why it wasn't mentioned. The place actually has a sign that says: E. ST LOUIS ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

@Longhauler85 Год назад

As a trucker, I know to get through East St. Louis IL as quick as possible. I'm surprised Chicago didn't make this list but I recently learned East St. Louis is worse than Chicago!

I've lived in St. Louis and the surrounding counties (North County and West County) for my entire life (40 years). Where is this enter at your own risk sign? I've never seen it...

@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers Год назад

@@CrazyGunNoob It's on a small road just as you enter into what is considered the East Side. I have a picture of it that my brother sent to me years ago. Also to clarify, I don't know who put up the sign but I'm pretty sure it wasn't done by city or state officials. Probably by concerned citizens if I had to guess.

As a Floridian I was so looking forward to Memphis. I wanted to go to graceland. Graceland was amazing but surrrounded by memphis(its like 4 acres of beauty)..I went for 4 days. It was so sad and depressing. It honestly looks like an apocalypse happened. Everything is dirty and boarded up, most building are missing roofs or walls. Trash everywhere. I honestly needed a therapy session when I got home. Devastating its like that.

Tbh the elevator is probably worse than the stairs, you can fall down the stairs but you can’t really get stuck, with the elevator, since it’s mechanical if something happens it could stop working and you’d be stuck there or if the building has a power outage or fire you can’t use the elevators, you can also get stuck between the elevator and the floor, or the elevator cables could snap and it’s a free fall to the bottom from there lol

@teressareeves5856 Год назад

I've lived in several large cities with high murder rates, & I've never had a problem. One of the secrets is to always be aware of your surroundings. Walk with your eyes scanning around you & your shoulders back; it makes you look alert. Try to know some of the history of the area you're in as the locals respond to the interest you'll have. And never never EVER go to an ATM by yourself, never use an ATM that is isolated, & absolutely don't use an ATM after dark! I don't care what town you're in, you are totally asking for trouble if you don't follow safety protocols at the ATMs.

@mortimerbrewster3671 Год назад

I remember that and I had considered bidding because I knew that Detroit would not be that bad forever but I decided that the cost of dealing with the property until such a time that the city turned around was going to far outweigh the value that the house could ever reach. The neighborhoods would always be slums unless someone with BIG money came in a bulldozed the entire thing and gentrified it.

The only reason murder rates have gone down since the 90s is the availability of cell phones. Witnesses and victims are able to call for help quicker resulting in more people living after an attempted murder.

I went to high school in the suburbs of Baltimore in the late 90’s-early 2000’s and it didn’t exactly feel safe but it wasn’t bad in the suburbs. When I got my driver’s license I stupidly drove in to the city at night a few times (when I told my parents I was working). I’m lucky I didn’t get hurt, but when you’re young you don’t fear as much, you just just want to have fun and hanging out in the city seems like more fun than hanging out in the suburbs.

Detroit, St. Louis, Philly, Baltimore, And Baton Rouge. If you eliminate 3 more we drop to 187 out of 190. LA, NYC, and New Orleans.

I live just two cities over from Compton, and Watts. And in an area where gang violence is the norm. Shooting all the time. A friend of mine got shot in the head back when we were younger. He survived though his brain hasn't worked right since. Another friend was killed by being shot, beaten and then ran over by a local gang. Its just normal where I live, to hear gun shots and sirens and what not. You just become "street smart". Know who to avoid and not look in the eye. Know where to go and not to at certain times of the day and night.

This list would be quite different if it was based on overall number rather than per capita. Before coming to specific large cities in the States, it is wise to do a little research to check out which areas to avoid, and if their public transportation is safe. For instance, if you went to Chicago, I'd chat with Laurence about which areas to see and avoid.
