> “Safe” doesn’t mean “less crime” it means less violent crime. Let's take a look at Houston vs NYC. In 2017 NYC had 286 homicides [1], while Houston had 269 [2]. If we divide out by population (8.5 million in NYC, 2.3 million in Houston), we get: 0.000033647058824 murders per capita in NYC 0.000116956521739 murders per capita in Houston So you are roughly 3.5 time as likely to get killed in Houston vs. in NYC.
