Safest Cities in the US?

http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/97/104006.htm?GT1=5809

1. Minneapolis, Minn.
2. Seattle
3. Dallas
4. Boston
5. Houston
6. San Francisco
7. Atlanta
8. Chicago
9. Philadelphia
10. New York
11. Miami
12. Los Angeles
13. Washington
14. Detroit

People are so dumb and misinformed! Those results from the poll do not match the actual crime statistics.

People in NYC and DC should feel very safe. Seeing as they are constantly patrolled because of terrorism.

My city is #3 and I do not feel safe at all! schmoll
Nothing but barbaric heatens shifting around, just dying to get their dirty paws on my Prada bag! diva

I blame Bush!

#6: San Francisco.

Hooray, I'm safe!

Eat it, all you endangered Americans! 😛

8. Chicago

I find that VERY hard to believe...

If Atlanta is so safe, then why do they continue to have the most murders? There is hospitals in Atlanta dedicated only for gunshots. Why is D.C still one of the most dangerous places to drive through. Where is Denver? That is always on the list for one of the safest cities to live in, and it isnt even there.

12 Los Angeles?

bull shit!

"The polls results don't necessarily reflect crime statistics; instead, they focus on public perception about each city."

This just in: Americans are ignorant!

That list is a joke 😐

The reason those cities are considered safest is because they divide the amount of crime per 100 thousand people instead of just saying which cities have the most crime. But, New york city is much safer than it was years ago, same with Miami.

True that. I wouldn't put NYC that far back from like Boston...i dunno about the other cities, i've never been to any of those cities besides Boston, Washington, and L.A. ...i do wanna move to San Fransico when i'm older though, last article i read was that San Fran was like #3 on the list of safest cities.

You could have made that quote more reasonable by saying humanity. whatprompted you to say that anyway? Was it because a bullshit web poll taken by public perception?

Rage, I know that you can take a joke when you're drunk.

The solution: get drunk more often.

bullshit web poll?
Its was a Gallop phone poll.

Gallop being the most respected polling agency.

I'm partially drunk, does that count. I wasn't flaming your post, just wandered what made you think that. I thought it was the fact that America has a such poll as to what is the safest city in our country. That is pretty bad. what ever happened to the most livable city poll?

I found this list with safest and most dangerous..I think it could be accurate because ohio is all over there dangerous list and I live here and can say it's quite a defiled state.

THe safest city from a terrorist attack would be a less-know city, as the terrorists would not bother to bomb it.
