Lol I grew up in the suburbs of Calgary, itself a midsized and quite affluent city, and there's violence basically anywhere there's public transportation. There were murders in the suburbs. Drug use everywhere.
Look at what's happening this year, basically every city is experiencing a major wave of gang shootings, drug activity, etc...
Europe is much, much safer. Never seen drug addicts shooting up and harassing people on the Paris Metro, it's an everyday occurrence in any major (and some not so major) Canadian city though.
Also it seems to be a concern to OP based on comments.
- nradov 4y agoWhat's your point? There are good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods in every larger city. But there are thousands of smaller cities where the risk of violent street crime is virtually zero. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-6 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
- Mikeb85 4y agoMost immigrants/expats will move to large cities because of work and culture. So it's definitely of interest. I live in a place with basically no crime too, however work prospects outside of hospitality or being able to work remotely are zero.
