I'd be curious to see the actual crime stats from both groups of cities. WIthout them It's hard to guage what "safe" is. How close and far apart are they?
Mal: Your link asks for a registration. Is there another source I can go to?
I know that crime happens in my city (Toronto), but I feel safe enough that I can walk through any neighbourhood at anytime. This is because I believe most crimes happen amongst those who know each other, and the odds are in my favour. Call me naive if you will, but I would never trade the bustle and diversity of my town for a gated community and a 1.5 hour commute.
