Isn’t it sort of a gift to be cut off from downtown Detroit? I’ve never been there but I’ve got an acquaintance who was held at gun point while fueling in “vibrant” downtown Detroit…
There are certainly neighborhoods where I wouldn’t do that, but the most surprising thing for me when I moved here was how aggressively friendly everybody is, and how off-base the “Detroit is a crime-ridden wasteland” comments are.
Poor guy.
Stupid jokes aside, the safest city on earth has victims of crime.

The main thing I'm getting from that list is that I sure don't remember Fremont being some kind of mecca, of safety or otherwise. So that's surprising.
The thing about the cities in really bad shape is that all we get is the reported crime rate, which tends to be lower. Murder rates are a more accurate statistic since you can't ignore a body like a jacked car or a rape.
