10 most murderous cities...

[UFC Pride K1]

I’ve been researching places to live besides NYC - it’s simply too expensive here..

I’ve found that Dallas, Atlanta, and St. Louis all have relatively high crime rates. I’m not sure about the rest of the list, but I’d rather raise my children in a safer city...

* Indianapolis
* Cincinnati
* St. Louis
* Houston
* Milwaukee
* Dallas
* Pittsburg
* Columbus

Most are cities in blue states. That is interesting.

I have looked into this and can say cities in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, offer much more affordable housing, lower crime, while only sacrificing major sports teams and the fine “arts”. They all major business centers, top quality hospitals, minor league sports, and every thing else a non pretentious person could need..

Minneapolis.

'Nuff said.

Cheers!

Full Disclosure: Uffda!

I will add Summerville, SC.

200k gets you a whole lot of house here.

Anything recommending moving to Cincinnati is poorly researched.

Cincy is setting homicide records annually so far the past six years, folks.

Yep, parking is cheap, and because everybody that can afford to do so has moved beyond the city limits, you can get affordable housing, renting or purchasing. Same for office space.

But you also get ‘discounts’ on funeral arrangements, you have more opportunities of getting shot, beaten, mugged, raped, or being a victim of arson, credit card fraud/indentity theft, and every ‘scam’ known to mankind.

On top of that, you get elected leaders who if you don’t agree with them call you a racist.

I was born at Good Sam in 1958. I moved from Cincinnati in the spring of 2000.

And I chuckle to myself when I see the ‘local news’ from sixty miles due east, and thank God I got the hell out of Zimbabewe on the Ohio.

Well, this is very interesting. Columbus and Pittsburgh? Aren’t those areas affected by....bitterness?
