Answer 3

Ever since Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans (aka NOLA) has been crime ridden. The devastation of that Hurricane is still being felt there although it now fails to get as much media attention. Per capita, New Orleans is crime central these days. And surprising, Philadelphia has gotten a lot worse, and is now up there among the crime hubs. In the 80s, NYC was up there, but ever since Mayor Rudy swarmed the NYC streets with police, the crime rate is extremely low these days.

Honestly New York will have the highest rates for almost everything considering its population density being 8 million and only having 500sq miles to live in. Houston 2 mil and 600sq mi, Chicago 3 mil and 200 sq miles. LA 4 mil 500 sq mi. Just compare for youself and you will see why people are pissed in some cities, you have more space to live, you are happier, you get cramped in a 500sq ft apartment that you have to pay a grand for you get upset. Just my opinion
