116 dollar a month mortgage



If you make a decent amount a year why not buy the house and hope that a dystopian future full of drones and cybercops clean it up by 2040 so you make 10 times as much as your investment.

It doesn't include New York, Los Angeles and other large cities on the West Coast so it's obviously not a definite list.

New York aint dangerous.

My sis in law works for Ford in Detroit and makes bank. Way more than she knows what to do with up there. The downside is she lives in fucking Detroit. In fact I just sent her a #BeWell text after reading this list

 

[VertPin]

Glad I live in Oregon now.

Damn, Houston's on there twice.

All I know is that car theft is pretty bad in the area.

[You Are Viewtiful]

New York aint dangerous.

I'm just saying a lot of neighbourhoods got cut off even in the country's biggest cities, so it's not a definitive list, in fact it's a pretty terrible one.

The Aerostar used body-on-frame construction, so as long as the chassis was ok so was your ride.

Here's another angle. It looks like that back tire is not even pointed in the same direction. Could just be the image I guess.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Central time cities !!

Effectively nothing on the east or west coast.

It is important to note that local law enforcement agencies voluntarily report their crime data and incidences to the FBI and U.S. Justice Department. More often than we would expect, the local agency will err in the numbers they report, or possibly withhold information that would reflect less than favorably on their agency, or their community.

Note: Although the Uniform Crime Reporting Program applies estimation procedures to account for populations covered by reporting jurisdictions, it does not use any estimation procedures to account for hate crime data from agencies that do not participate in the Hate Crime Statistics Program.

Figures used in this Report were submitted voluntarily by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Individuals using these tabulations are cautioned against drawing conclusions by making direct comparisons between cities. Comparisons lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction. It is important to remember that crime is a social problem and, therefore, a concern of the entire community. The efforts of law enforcement are limited to factors within its control. The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual agencies. Further information on this topic can be obtained in the annual UCR report Crime in the United States, 2011.

Each year when Crime in the United States is published, many entities—news media, tourism agencies, and other groups with an interest in crime in our nation—use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rankings, however, are merely a quick choice made by the data user; they provide no insight into the many variables that mold the crime in a particular town, city, county, state, region, or other jurisdiction. Consequently, these rankings lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting cities and counties, along with their residents.

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/uc...rime-in-the-u.s.-2011/caution-against-ranking


The FBI goes out of their way to point out that any comparison study based on this data is incomplete (aka bullshit). No wonder why the ranking seems so weird.

No matches found.

The iron fist ruling of the NYPD has been paid off! All hail the droids!

Sunnyside and Dowling yuuupp

Never heard of them. Where they located?

I see what you mean now, I'm guessing the something is messed up with the drivetrain but it will drive another day.

 

[Fenderputty]

Detroit all up in there claiming the top 3 spots. Surprised at the lack of any Cali cities.

Dodger Stadium and Candlestick Park must have been too small to qualify for this list. Only way they could've not made it, since they're hives of criminals and criminal activity.

yeah ... the of the states in the top 25, TX is the furthest one to the west too. Kinda odd.

 

[dimb]

Not surprised at Detroit and Chicago on there so much. Terrible places.

Have you actually been to them or do you just read about them in these drivel articles?

 

[hemtae]

Sunnyside is off 288 and 610, the east side. No idea where Dowling is.

 

[poodpick]

I don't know how anecdotal evidence even matters in this case. I've been to the nice parts of both Chicago and Detroit. I've also gotten lost in the ghetto part of Detroit once and been instructed by a police officer to run every red light because he couldn't guarantee my safety.

 

[Bel Marduk]

Wooohooo!

Florida's safe!

 

[Eidan]

Shocked that the entire Bos-Wash region went unmentioned. We really are the hope of humanity.

 

[Host Samurai]

LOL NYC is candy land. Probably the most safe city in the US, if not the world

 

[muddream]

Love Sosa

[Sol..]

Houses are pretty cheap in number 1

EDIT: whops double posted without thinking.

It doesn't include New York, Los Angeles and other large cities on the West Coast so it's obviously not a definite list.

I can't speak for the other cities but crime has steadily been dropping in New York, including the Bronx for the past 15 years.

The five boroughs are nothing like the reputation they had in the 80s.

 

[SniperHunter]

would be better with pictures

 

[Conciliator]

Washington Heights S.C REPRESENT. I could spit to Washington Heights from the building I work in.

 

[Smokey]

Never heard of them. Where they located?

Both on the south side. Sunnyside is right off 610 & 288 (close to the astrodome I think) and is more of a community. Dowling McGowen is a cross street so I guess they are just referencing that general area.

Heard bad stuff about McGowen but my friends dad used to stay in sunnyside. It ain't what ya want I tell you that.

Surprised this isn't higher.

 

[jmdajr]

Sunnyside and Dowling yuuupp

I guess I won't go there then.

 

[wildfire]

Surprised this isn't higher.

That just tells you how stiff the competition is. You better get your thugs back into training.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

As long as you avoid the hoods in Chicago you'll be fine.

 

[vilmer_]

D-Town baby.

 

[Htown]

Sunnyside and Dowling yuuupp

hahaha yep

 

[Sealion88]

No Brownsville Brooklyn is pretty surprising. NY Daily News always had something to report from there last year.

Does seem like a midwest list, but NYC is different.

Any bad area is flanked by another opposite area. I moved here with a bunch of preconceptions 20 years ago, once I became aware of the layout and reletive proximity of things inside a city like this... I quickly realized NYC could never be as bad as US smaller cities, media and rap music makes NY seems harder than it is.
