I didn’t state it was US only. 10 million isn’t a larger city in 2024. Why would anyone compare it to US only unless it’s to push propaganda? We should be indexing globally not to just the US.
It’s the same propaganda that pushes the *NYC is the safest big city in America* garbage.
Having one's jaw wired shut sounds like a serious injury.
Are we talking about the 60-year-old Brooklynite dragged by the moped? I thought her kneecaps were broken.
I was recently in the Port Authority. It's like they opened the floodgates at 10:00 p.m. and six or seven crazy homeless people were all ranting and raving and harassing passersby at once. Security ignored them. Seems like a good time to go home (or to the hotel) and lock the doors!
You too? Every time I visit NYC I am murdered! It's becoming a constant thing.
Even in our most dangerous year of 1990 with over 2,000 murders, the odds were minimal especially in non black/hispanic areas.
But it's not murder most NYer's worry about, it's the other stuff. And rightly so. My area of Queens is being targeted for car jackings and home invasions every day. That's my worry. Not murder.

I worked at the PABT 1979 - 1981. It was like that then. The neighborhood was a lot worse, though. It was before they Disneyfied 42nd Street. Watch The Times Square Killer on Netflix if you want to see what it used to look like. Lots of footage of the area.
They're going to build a nice new Midtown Bus Terminal for the homeless!
Carrol Gardens is one of the wealthier and nicer neighborhoods Brooklyn. Would you walk your neighborhood at 2am on a regular basis?
10 million isn’t even a very large city in 2024. We’re not even top 100 in population density.
If we are coming home from the city late, we often walk everywhere at 1, 2, 3 in the morning. Lower East Side, West Village, Chinatown, East Village, Gramery, Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, midtown east, Murray Hill, Harlem, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Ft Greene, Brooklyn Heights, the list goes on.
I never feel unsafe, ever, in the city of New York. The subway is the only interactions we've ever had to make us feel close to uncomfortable and unsafe. But that has vastly improved over the past year.
