      I think it’s racism mostly. Libs and chuds can’t fathom a city where white people aren’t the majority being safe. Even though it objectively is.

      The safest large cities in the world (at least in terms of random stochastic crime) are probably all in East Asia. In many places in Japan and China (idk about Korea) it’s pretty common to leave phones and other valuables at cafe tables unattended while the owner uses the toilet or gets their drink.

        NYC is a controlled risk, like going ziplining. You know you’re unlikely to face real danger but the imagined risk is what makes it thrilling to the tourists.
