http://crime.kansascity.com is a good visual... the worst I've dealt with is my car getting broken into a couple of times, and I agree with the idea that a lot can be said about keeping yourself out of bad situations, but at the same time it's discouraging to see that map light up over even a small 6 month timeframe for burglaries, armed robberies, etc... and the map only shows KCMO.

This would be like Lamar Hunt and Ewing Kaufman being required to pave I-70 and Blue Ridge when the stadiums were built and then build an airport for the teams to fly in and out of.
Point is Cordish got a great deal...the City Council screwed up and when the Funk brought up the problems as the city auditor...no one paid attention. Now, according to auditors it will take at least another 20 years to pay off the debt. This from a city cutting public services (jobs) every quarter and is still over budget.

Yup, one of the biggest changes in moving from KC to Fort Worth was the attitude towards violence. KC is a violent city. Fort Worth, OTOH, is a cupcake city. Parts of Dallas are comparable to KC but the overall it's much easier to live in than KC.

Please elaborate.

Like someone else said I don't go out of my way to go downtown. 3-4 times a year. The city already gets 1 percent of my earnings right off the top.

The amount of stolen cars and home burglaries in the last year was also pretty surprising.

You might want to reconsider your position w/ 2 of the top 6 most dangerous neighborhoods being in Kansas City. None in the top 25 in Phoenix..

Then I'll say it:

The baselines you people are using are a complete ****ing crock written by idiots.

I've done it, not as scary as people would lead you to believe. In KC that is. I slept under bridges, I camped by the river and went into all black bars often and I'm still alive. Granted most of this was in the 80's

I have little experience living in other cities so I'm saying it's all I know. Doesn't make it BS Dane. It has it's problems but oh well I lived there for 28 years and did some stupid shit but I have no bullet holes or knife wounds.

Actually violent crime has declined significantly since the 1980's. So it was worse back then when you were sleeping under bridges.

LOL! Now that I'm older I'd prefer not to have to sleep under a bridge :) However I would take life experience over polls or surveys any day.
