“New York City is one of the safest big cities in the world.”

Yeah right. Ever since I sold the Brooklin bridge.

Hong Kong and Tokyo are rolling on the floor in laughter.

I did not say that New York City is the safest city in the world; rather, I stated it is one of the safest cities in the world, and apparently, I am not the only person with this opinion:

Sorry, you’re wrong. NYC has been a very safe city for many years now. Sorry to upset the cliche about it being a hellhole.

Actually, it’s become a somewhat boring city in recent years. Every other street is either a CVS, Duane Reade or a bank.

Those are homogeneous cities, and don't have a "melting pot" to worry about. Not saying you're wrong, mind you. But here in NYC, we have all sorts of people here.
