Yeah I saw that, surprised it was that low.

As for the weather, somehow I’ll survive being an hour from skiing for a few months. And it’s nic and sunny out today.

In order to determine the safest cities in which to live, WalletHub’s analysts compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, across three key dimensions: 1) Home & Community Safety, 2) Financial Safety, and 3) Natural-Disaster Risk.


Also, what a weird methodology to determine “safest” city.

Chattanooga?

That place feels incredibly safe

That is a mind blowing ranking for them


Yeah, that is surprising.
I'm a nola lover, but they have to be in that mix around BR and Jackson.

Now I know why Austin and probably some of the other weirdly ranked cities lost some spots.

I love these new terms "Financial Safety"

How is Jackson and BR ranked higher than the other cities except Detroit? Seems a little off.




Population size. Per capita instances of crime.

If Nola didn't rank so strongly in the natural disaster risk they'd be safer than Boston

Uh oh

So there are 173 Cities in the country where you can sell things like compact disks in front of a convenience stores that you do not own without anyone in authority that will question what you are doing?

I think I know of a way to profit??

There is virtually no crime in the Valley, or at least it doesn't get reported. McAllen, Mission, and Brownsville have half the crime rate of Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.

Don’t worry. Mayor Broome just hasn’t had a chance to remove enough broken down cars or fix broken streetlights yet...and don’t forget volunteers from Americorp are on the way.

...ok?

I'm not sure what you're driving at, but you seem pretty insecure about it.
