Did you read the part where the police don’t collect the statistics? I do believe it is possible to live in NYC and people survive to enjoy the wonderful offerings. I have a friend who does animation, living in the most difficult area for the last 40 years and he would never leave NYC. But, I can get Sak’s designer stuff and great ethnic food in most big cities but Broadway, MET and the other art galleries etc are unmatched anywhere, in my opinion.

I was trying to answer the question is NYC safe? Well, for me, it is not.
