- i_have_an_idea 3y ago> US cities are also full of homeless people and thugs with guns. So are big European cities like Amsterdam, London, Paris etc. The only difference is that it's not guns but knifes, machetes, brass knuckles and what not. Those are just problems of big cities, not some problem unique to the US.

Top 50 cities (not in a war) with the highest homicide rates (best proxy for crime, (a) because it's most easily available, (b) it's fairly easy to compare across places because different places have different reporting and data collection standards) lists 8 cities in the US and 0 in Europe. What is amazing and took me by surprise that even Eastern European cities just coming out of the Cold War have lower homicide rates than at least 8 US cities. Also, if you think the homeless problem in the US is like anywhere else in the developed world you need to get out more.
- dotcoma 3y ago“ Eastern European” cities came out of the Cold War in 1989…

- chefkoch 3y agoHave you ever been to one of these cities?
- i_have_an_idea 3y agoI have been to all of these cities. Each one feels unsafe at night, with the exception, sometimes, of the rich areas.
