No city with high murder/violent crime rates is "laid back". You can't be laid back if you have to keep on your toes for gangbangers while you're walking down the street. So don't tell me places like Baltimore are laid back.

Despite its reputation, I would say Baltimore is pretty laid back. Maybe my age plays a role in its perception, but Baltimore is very urban, yet laid back to me.

So to sum up this thread so far: Pretty much every urban city in the US is laid-back except for a couple in the northeast?

Baltimore is laid back in comparison to its northeast neighbors...definitely the most laid back compared to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. Does that make it one of the more laid back cities in the nation? Hell no. Louisville, New Orleans, and a lot of your southern/midwestern cities are going to be more laid back than Baltimore...Baltimore is just the most relaxed of the big 5 in the Bos-Wash corridor.

I dont know about all that, but....
I moved to Ft Worth from a town of 45,000 in California and was amazed at how slow it was here.....
It highlighted if you go between Dallas and Ft Worth.

So my answer is Fort Worth. Probably some of the other sleepy metros; OKC, Jacksonville maybe....

FYI, Minneapolis at 325 sq. miles would be larger in terms of population and density than San Diego. It would, however, take Minneapolis, St. Paul, and 25 of their inner-ring suburbs to reach 325 sq. miles.
