Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
You don't understand. People do talk about murder, assault, rape in those other cities you mentioned. And of course violent crime is concentrated in certain areas in all these cities. Crime tends to be more common where the criminals are-Duh! You can get shot anywhere, but some places are way more likely than others.You don't hear people talk about murders in St. Louis, Baltimore, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Memphis, Buffalo, D.C, Stockton, Miami, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, do you? And they all have higher murder rates than Chicago (data from years 2010-2015)! And Indianapolis (yes, Indianapolis!) is right behind Chicago.
Since much of that is concentrated in those specific neighborhoods, it stands to reason that Chicago must be much safer than those other cities if you stay in the better places (assuming those other cities aren't as concentrated as Chicago, not sure about that).
I sure wish they could clean up the violence in those places, it must be terrible to live there.
