- brendoelfrendo 5y agoYou misread - they fled to New Orleans from Portland, they weren't trying to get away from the murder rate. Besides, NOLA is fine. Murders aren't evenly distributed; there are plenty of perfectly safe spots and lots of safe activities to do.
- selimthegrim 5y agoIn 2019 they were at at all time low. I’ll still take it over Portland where people treat me like I don’t exist or as a means to an end.
- sshine 5y agoI’ll take “treat me like I don’t exist” over “make me not exist” any day. ;-)
- selimthegrim 5y agoBarring a car accident a few months ago no one has ever laid a finger on me or made me feel unsafe here.
