Awe no, sorry I hope my post didn’t come off offensive. I was just saying like dangerous in terms of my kiddo playing outside and stray bullets catches them. I grew up around some rough areas and this did in fact happen twice in my life. So I just want to make sure my wife and child are safe just hanging outside on a nice day.

But Yeah, I think queens seems to be the best area in terms of commute and even price! Definitely gonna look there! Thank you, and again sorry if my post came off insensitive to the area.

Nah it's cool. I wasn't offended, I was just being sarcastic because we get a lot of people asking similar questions. This city has definitely seen a decrease in crime (though that would come with being priced out of the area). This city used to be kinda like that 20ish years ago but it's not like that now. The only part of my post that you should have taken seriously is the queen's and eastward thing because you'll save a lot of time commuting for basically the same rent prices you would see here if not less
