Neither of those cities are very safe and orderly. Didn’t 3 people just get killed in Austin yesterday? DC is also tiny compared to the outlying cities that surround it. Baltimore anyone?
This is probably just more distraction to get the news stories away from those Epstein files.
- rayiner 1y agoDon’t you live in China, lol? Pre-covid, Austin’s homicide rate was around 4 per 100k. San Diego’s is typically under 4x DC’s never got below 14 per 100k (in 2012) and spiked up to 40 per 100k in 2023. DC is 20% more populous than Baltimore. The nearest city larger than DC is Philly, 140 miles away.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoI left China in 2016 and now I live in Seattle. I lived in Austin for a summer in 2001 (the summer before 9/11) and it was…hard, I had to evict a squatter from my sublet, the property crime was high and people skulked around in the morning looking through everyone’s trash. Anyways, not sure if your argument is that it is better or worse now, but definitely not a place I want to live in ever again. There are 6.3 million in the greater DC area, DC is a small part of what goes on in that region.
