I live in the Twin Cities and I think would challenge the Bloomington pick.
Comment by Augusta Homes For Sale on 29 October 2009:
Great marketing information. If my an area I represented was on the list, I would be broadcasting it to all my clients.
Comment by Brandon Marchand on 4 November 2009:
Wow, was surprised not to see Spokane on there but at least Seattle is there
Thx for the info!
Comment by Bryan Pulda on 4 November 2009:
yahhhh, I would DEFINITELY challenge the number 1 and 2 spots. I lived in Milwaukee, now Cedarburg outside it, and that city is just crap. SO much of it has such an unsafe feel, BUT I will say the police force has been making it safer. The crime rates are down for sure, but NOT PROPERTY CRIME…and armed robberies was sky rocketing in the neighborhood I lived in right before I moved out.
Minneapolis I heard has been having problems with gangs and the crime rates were soaring as well….
idk who published this one, but the first two shouldnt be on there for sure at least I think!

i live in one of the “safe” parts and my neighbor was locked in the trunk of their own car and that car was driven into a river.

Minneapolis won’t be anymore this year.. we’re on our 6th homocide this year.. right now.
I do love Minnesota though… for the most part
Comment by barbara on 25 January 2010:
i thought new york was the safest city.
Comment by guwa on 29 January 2010:
Not true. I have lived in two of those areas and have never felt safe after dark. Where as, I have been in (major) cities not on that list where it is very safe.
Comment by Waggonwe on 26 February 2010:
Cincy should not be on their for sure!
Comment by Debie Loren on 8 March 2010:
Some cities in the USA were very violent in up to 80 years. New York was a reference to the lower crime rates.
Comment by aaron on 10 March 2010:
