Safest city in the world?

Amherst, NY was voted safest city in America at one point. I went to school there... beautiful.
 
7 years ago I would have said Tokyo. Even though we completely stood out as non Japanese speaking tourists, never once did I feel threatened or in danger (even around 3am) and most people were very helpful and wanted to pratice their English with us.

From what I've heard, its gone downhill a little bit due to the economy and they're having some of the problems we have here in the major cities in the states. When I was there, the homeless problem was just begininng.

He said best, not worst.

Gary is a beautiful town just outside of Chicago. Between the run down steel mills and murders lies a beautiful main street filled with hookers.

I remember one time on my way back from Pennsylvania, I stopped there to get gas early on a Sunday morning. I figured that all the bangers would be in bed and all the church people would be out. Well, honestly, I saw nobody except the gas station clerk that morning. It was one of the creepiest feelings driving down this major four lane road and not seeing any other car whatsoever. I felt like I was being watched by just about every evil type of criminal eye, all of which were just out of sight. It was pretty weird.

They have a lot to steal too, which is funny since the crime rates so low.

East St Louis.

I read this article in Sociology class about the high school in East St. Louis. If *half* of what was written in there was true, that place is fvcked.

East St. Louis is yet another town that defines the true mystic suburbs of a large city. East St. Louis is best depicted by the beloved patriot Lips painted on the side of the Griswold's station wagon.
