Ask yourself this, do you feel safer walking the streets of NYC now than a few years ago, maybe cmyx6go could offer her view regarding the feeling of safety on the streets. Not one of your peer reviewed stats but the reality in many places is that the stats are not reflective of what folks are actually seeing and feeling in their communities.

It's terrible. The subways are a nightmare. The streets are a nightmare. People getting slashed, stabbed, pushed onto train tracks. People minding their own business getting beaten or cold cocked just for walking on the street. It's on the news every single day. The shootings are out of control, but I'll keep that out because this will then go back to the gun control.
