> Every high density over crowded over built city ..and this is global..is unaffordable. It has expensive utilities, higher taxes and bad declining infrastructure that the government can’t seem to replace or upgrade. That's not true. Houston and Dallas are big cities without affordability problems. Sunnyvale, CA (quite dense, and becoming more so, but suffering from these NIMBY problems) is one of the safest cities in the country. Well below the average crime rate of many rural towns.

1. [..]In Sunnyvale, CA you have a 1 in 611 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime. Violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery and assault. With regards to property crime, you have a 1 in 62 chance of becoming a victim. Property crimes include burglary, theft and vehicle theft.[..] 2. Dallas and Houston are not in the same category as Bay Area. Texas is not California. 3. Crime in California stats are unreliable due to passing of Prop 47. Crimes are not reported or recorded or booked due to not wanting to incarcerate people. This has actually increased petty crimes all over Bay Area(I don’t know about other cities in CA..I do know about my backyard however)..you only have to subscribe to NIXLE to see that even those reported is increasing. The cops won’t even come to an ongoing crime scene unless someone’s life is in immediate danger. Wrt San Francisco..just type ‘Chesa Boudin’ in google news to see what’s happening in San Francisco. This is our lives and our backyards and built upon our tax dollars and work. It’s being auctioned away by those who have no stake and have never contributed to it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_California_Proposition_47 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_California_Proposition_...

  > Dallas and Houston are not in the same category as Bay Area. Texas is not California. You're right, they're both much larger cities. The Dallas metro area is the 4th largest in the US, the Bay Area is 12th. So Dallas is bigger. > In Sunnyvale, CA you have a 1 in 611 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime.

Property crimes include burglary, theft and vehicle theft.[..] According to https://www.areavibes.com/sunnyvale-ca/crime/ https://www.areavibes.com/sunnyvale-ca/crime/ you have a 255/100000 (my number is higher than yours BTW) likelihood of being a victim of a violent crime. Nationally, it's 381/100000 or 1 in 263. Thus, sunnyvale is safer. It is known to be safer even since before 2014 when California crime statistics were screwed up. The historical data is available online. You are a troll.

    There is no way I can have a conversation with someone who resorts to childish name calling and making it personal. I know my backyard. You don’t.
