Probably because you live in the wealthiest part. Murders are up 140% in NYC. You didn’t read the actual Washington report.

- Grazester 6y agoI live in Brooklyn in a neighborhood with a demographics this administration would call rapist and criminals because they originated south of the border. But there is no anarchy here either. I do acknowledge crime is up in New York but it's not like everyone is running around the streets shooting, looting and burning things down.

- cwhiz 6y agoI did. Murders are up 50% but overall crime is flat, including overall violent crime. The percentage is misleading, too, because the raw numbers are still quite low. NYC doesn’t even crack the top 70 deadliest cities in the US. https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-cities/ https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-ci... https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/nycdata/public_safety/crime-selectcities.htm https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/nycdata/public_safety/crime-sele... Based on the numbers, NYC probably isn’t even in the top 200 of deadliest cities. At some point you have to switch to “safest cities” instead. Maybe the US DoJ should defund St Louis? Or maybe not because that would be idiotic and counter intuitive.
