Nyc is one of the safest cities in the world. The lower quality of life comes from the high levels of homelessness and mentally ill wandering the streets.

In AMERICA. AMERICA. I think New Yorkers like to tout the safest city in the US stat, but now inflate it to the world.

NYC is highly dangerous compared to any other major city in a developed country.

Like I literally can walk around in Taipei, in any neighborhood, and I will not be robbed, have my stuff stolen, beat up, or be victim of a violent crime, or any crime period.

NyC is just as safe as London or Paris. Taipei maybe not

London and Paris aren't particularly safe either. Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Sydney are the ones you'd want to compare to.

London and Paris are actually very dangerous,not Detroit or Baltimore dangerous, but compared to the rest of France and the UK they are, not a very good comparison

Agree , I only had a mild disagreement with the one who was saying that all or most other cities in developed countries are “much” safer than nyc and US cities in general.
