Hmm. Methinx those stats are flawed. The Places Rated Almanac rated STL the 22nd best place to live in the US. Cincinnatti was #1. PRA rates cities based on cost of living, jobs, housing, transportation, education, health care, crime, the arts, recreation, and climate. The 2 worst cities on crime were New York and Miami, yet overall Miami was ranked 33rd and NY 105th out of 343.
I live in north STL county which has a larger minority population than anywhere else in the county. I don't spend much time in the STL city limits, but when we go to a concert or sporting event downtown we usually take the metrolink train. We are not afraid to go where we have to go. Maybe we're like Sudo.
By the way, Boston was ranked 17th, Memphis 97th, and Dallas 94th. Also, the 4 worst overall places to live were Yuba City, CA, Merced, CA, Waterbury, CT, and Sumter, SC.
Well Crap I could have told you Camden wasn't on the list anymore I live right across the street from Camden and haven't heard a gun shot in 3 months. But winter is coming and so a new year, OK Camden let's kick that St. Louis buttox!

Sudo
Tom,
I'm in one of the highest cities as well.. Memphis. Most of us just stick around the (relatively) safe suburbs and let the urban animals feed.

Hang on Sudo. I'm sure there is a gang or a coven headed to a high school near you soon.
