Safe for what?

Expect to be dependent on car transportation in a grid that damns cyclists and walkers. Public transportation is non-reliable. Certain places are not safe for anybody (neighborhoods nestled in freeway intersections), certain places are not safe for you if you don't fit the demographic.

And expect to cough up lots of money if you want a house by a public park or a main street with walkable amenities.

What is your background and your expectations?

Safe as far as no gun shootings or stabbings. I curse if anyone knows what town's rarely if ever have any gun shootings.

Gun shootings? As opposed to all those other types of shootings right? LOL

I guess he doesn't know how to use City Data's crime reports for all the towns on Long Island to do this research on his own. Those crime reports actually break down by each specific type of crime committed. But, true to form, OP wants others to do the research for him so that he'll be all set up when he moves in 2-7 years from now with his girlfriend/fiancee/wife and the close to $100,000 he'll have as a down payment from savings and gifts from his parents. And of course he'll be moving to one of about 45 different towns that he's asked about over the course of the past 2 months.
