Sometimes you read the Metro Section of the local paper in New York and you wonder if
just stepping outside the door of your apartment will
get you killed. Every week there are grisly stories of muggings and murders and mayhem in the vast, sprawling
googlopolis known as New York City. But amazingly, despite what you sometimes read, New York is NOT on the
top ten list of the United State’s Most Dangerous cities. In
all honesty, it’s not really a surprise. Bloomberg and previous mayors have done a fine job policing the city. Which is
more that I can say, it appears, for places like Camden, New Jersey, Detroit Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, all of
which topped the list. And what about the safest cities?
Newton, Mass and Clarkstown, New York get the nod for the safest places.
