- casiotone 8y agoIt really is. Fascists like yourself are on the rise everywhere in Europe.
- TimMurnaghan 8y agoFunny how it's just become the first european city to top the economist liveability index. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45174600 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45174600
- the-dude 8y agoThe migrants are very satisfied, thank you.
- TimMurnaghan 8y agonhanq is a one day old account posting fake news. Let's hope that the trolls don't take hold here on HN too. There are many valid criticisms of these kind of surveys, but crime, which is the hook that the anti-migrant posters like to use, is one of the criteria - so the idea that "It's getting bad there" is the one that needs rapid rebuttal.
- darpa_escapee 8y ago> Let's hope that the trolls don't take hold here on HN too. They're already here. If you step back you can see how they've shifted discussion in a lot of threads with young or barely active accounts.
- the-dude 8y agoDon't worry, we don't have to rely on experiences from Vienna. It is obvious in NL too.
- watwat1 8y agoFunny how the stories from citizens and your fake news differ so much.
- nebolo 8y agoI live very close to Vienna, visit often, and things are perfectly fine. Safer than any US city I've been to.
- nhanq 8y agoThe US is a very, very low bar to clear. Things here in Europe are getting worse every year. Of course, not getting-shot-by-a-gang bad, but bad. They are not horribly bad, but they don't have to be this bad.
- 80386 8y agoThat's not saying much. In the 2000s, Glasgow was known as one of the most violent cities in Europe. The average homicide rate from 2000 to 2002 was 62.9 per million people.[1] The homicide rate for San Francisco in 2014 was 45 per 100k people.[2] Glasgow at its worst was comparable to Oklahoma or Indiana today.[3] Compared to Europe, the US just isn't safe. (Homicide rates aren't a perfect metric, especially for comparisons over large periods of time, since social decline can be masked by medical advances. But they're good enough for back-of-the-envelope comparisons of similar areas.)

- crumbshot 8y agoSorry to hear about your friend's racism. I hope she gets well soon.
