To do an honest comparison you’d have to find a location that has few drug users and also not in the middle of an illegal immigration alley. Where that would be I have no idea.

San Diego is and has almost always been safer than NYC, which is thousands of miles from the Rio Grande. The principal reason is that it has very few blacks, who account for almost half of all crime, on a nation-wide basis. On an age-adjusted per capita basis, Hispanics account for roughly 2.5x as much crime as whites. Blacks account for 6.5x:

San Diego is and has almost always been safer than NYCv

There's a frigging ringing endorsement, if I ever heard one.

Bugtussle, Iowa is probably safer than either.

Or any random town in Arizona.

You are cherry-picking your data.
