That's as of 2019. I suspect things are a bit worse in 2022.
...People ransack cars and garages, stealing whatever they can. Loading up shopping carts and walking out without paying is trendy, too.
Indeed, and re: 'Rochester is 98 in the 'Top 100' - Not sure which 'direction' HC was trying to highlight (ergo: '98 out of 100' Could be seen as "safeish" by many.. OTOH, the fact that it 'Made the Top 100' is Telling (and maybe that's what HC was 'going for'?
Either way...
..A Lot of those 'data polls' can be skewed by the 'per capita factor', ergo: if there's, say, 100 stabbings per 1M people in a given Metropolitan area, that Can seem like a "low crime rate".. but 100 stabbings in a city of 100,000, well.. That city's gonna 'rank Worse' in those polls.. But, what if in the '+1M-city', we're talking it's a city of 11 million people?
Now, that's
1,100 stabbings even at that "lower ratio"!! So.. Just a thought to consider...
Overall, what seems to be a 'better metric' are any 'Local Crime-Report Meters', ie: Twitter / other social-media feeds / video about a given area, and those 'Neighborhood-focused sitelets', ie: 'Patch', etc, and - sometimes - the Local "News" (caviat being, sometimes they might be (for 'political reasons', or other-such biases) simply 'reporting them More Often', than in past, but... IF there's "More incidents
TO report" - regardless of 'why' they are choosing to air them, well.. That's, at least in part, 'A metric'..
...and, I mean, Local, on-the-street Video footage from 'vloggers' and such, are Hard to argue with.. ie: those several 'Tragic street-drive vids' in DT Philly, where all the 'Citizen Journalist' Does is simply
drive down the 'formerly decent street' - and film.. and the images / vids 'Tell the Story', better than Any "News source" could..
My Point being (relative to Rottenchester..) is that IF you 'do that' in DT Roch / some of the Formerly 'up-and-coming / prosperous-ish Areas' (ie: 'Browns Race', etc)? Yah, the Dem / Lib-policy Entropy acceleration is undeniable.. (and you should Probably never even
attempt such a thing, if yer not 'packing', in some 'hoods, even for just a 'drive by'.. Carjackings were a 'hot trend' there for quite awhile..)
Seems the 'takeway' is - from Lost Angeles to Rottenchester, Miami to all the way up in Los Anchorage - the 'Liberal Governance' / "Progressive" policies are simply - and Undeniably - (ie: San Fran, Portland, and Seattle, for starters..) layed-bare as examples of Abject Failure and the 'Wrong Direction' for just about Everything.. I mean, bloody Hell! -
