You can't tell some people this because they just read the latest big headline about violence and start thinking the sky is falling. Shit is better almost everywhere when it comes to big cities.

But like I said in the other thread a majority of this is partisan bullshit. The people in here condemning the violence in these cities don't give 2 fucks about the residents, they just want a talking point.
