most of these unsafe cities and cities where there are no jobs and no opportunity are run by democrats
People who think they are safe anywhere are deluding themselves.
Yakima? Really, with the likes of Detroit, Chicago, Houston, Baltimore, etc...
There are parts of almost every city where most people would not feel safe at night, let alone during the day.
Something is missing here (maybe it’s me). Are they only measuring change through polling? There is no mention of Chicago or Detroit. This may be the result of having larger populations to dilute the danger (via statistics)?
The cities represented have comparably smaller populations. So that might factor in.
Remember this has nothing to do with actual crime stats.
It’s a poll asking peoples’ perception of danger.
A bunch of NW liberals in Yakima could feel threatened by the global warming effects on Gaia.....
Three of those cities are right near each other on the I-5/US-99 corridor in the gun-free paradise of California (Stockton, Modesto, Fresno).
McAllen, Fresno, Modesto, Stockton, and Yakima all have large populations of immigrants who have committed acts of love. I can guess what the predominant ethnic group is in the other five cities.
Notice the assumption in the stats prevented - the correlation between poverty and crime.
That’s a false correlation. The correlations are between culture and crime, and culture and poverty.

Interesting....High on the list you would think there would be cities such as....
1) Chicago
2) Detroit
3) DC
4) Philadelphia
5) Oakland
6) New Orleans
7) St. Louis
8) Gary
9) Camden
10) Baltimore
keep voting for the same political party ad naseum, get the same (or worse) results.

And the correct answer is....
INNER!!!!!
Think about it!!!!
McAllen, Texas. Border town.
Though 70.5 and 71 are pretty close statistically, that difference represents 1.5 million Americans who now feel unsafe when walking at night. There could be all kinds of reasons for this, but I think the biggest reason is that they really aren’t as safe. Probably more people should feel unsafe.
More likely afraid of all the generational locals possessing guns and hunting muleys/elk.
“People who think they are safe anywhere are deluding themselves. “
The further you are away from other people the safer you generally are.... Well safer from other people that is...
( Those cities that are attracting a lot of first and second generation immigrants have really much lower crime rates than you’d expect,” said Roman.)
No I would expect that. 1. They are less likely to speak to the police or cooperate. They are less likely to report being a crime victim. These both help keep the stats down..
Bingo!
Yakima is overrun by illegal invaders and “hispanic” gangs. Not a good place to be white at night - or black or yellow probably.
“immigrant populations are thriving because they can do business with the local governments in Spanish. Those cities that are attracting a lot of first and second generation immigrants have really much lower crime rates than you’d expect,”
Crime rate and actual crime are two different things. Illegal immigrants probably don’t report crimes very often.
