I think it's the fact that most of the people in the comments section here weren't alive in the 80s to have a point of reference. 6 homicides per 100,000 per year? That's high? You should have been here or NYC in the 80s.
That being said... yes... 6 homicides per 100,000 is 6 homicides per 100,000 too many.
- threatofrain 4y agoNot every city can be like Cupertino, which basically has 0 homicides per 100k, where the streets are often devoid of police patrols (the city not have a police dept), where the public schools are the pride of the city and the youths are beaming with optimism. The streets are clean, the local community college is beautiful, and the businesses are classy but with an interesting dash of old-school mom and pop ethnic restaurants. But I don't think any Cupertino in the US can scale to 800k and maintain these stats.
