Most western European cities that I have visited are safe and they have big immigration. I think low immigration might be a factor in some cases, but the big thing is having a working social security net that gives people opportunities when they're down. That improves safety in all cases.
- DeathArrow 3y ago>big thing is having a working social security net that gives people opportunities when they're down. Bruxelles, Amsterdam, Paris have welfare. And that attracts the wrong people. I wouldn't want to wander in many neighborhoods in those cities. Budapest, Warsaw, Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia, Prague are much safer.

- kmlx 3y ago> Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia the problem in eastern europe isn’t violence. it’s cars. the deaths/injuries in those specific countries from car accidents is greater than general deaths/injuries in western countries from any reason (violence, cars, etc).
- DeathArrow 3y agoMost of car related deaths or accidents are happening outside of cities.
