Only made #6 most dangerous city to live in

FBI Crime Data said:
6. Oakland, Calif.

Population: 409,723
Violent Crime Per 1,000: 15.3
2010 Murders: 90
Median Income: $51,473 (2.4% above national average)
Unemployment Rate: 11% (2% above national average)

Oakland's violent crime dropped about 5.5% between 2009 and 2010, from about 6,800 to 6,260. The city nevertheless has the tenth-highest rate of rape, the ninth-highest murder rate, and the second highest robbery rate in the country. In 2010, there were 7.12 robberies for every 1,000 Oakland residents. According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, Mayor Jean Quan has attempted to combat break-ins and theft by creating programs to keep potential wrongdoers off the streets by starting late-night basketball programs. It it unclear if these policies have worked.

Stockton is not too far away at #10

FBI Crime Data said:
10. Stockton, Calif.

Population: 292,047
Violent Crime Per 1,000: 13.8
2010 Murders: 49
Median Income: $45,730 (8.9% below national average)
Unemployment Rate: 18.4% (9.4% above national average)

With a jobless rate of 18.4%, up from 18.1% a year ago, Stockton, California has one of the worst unemployment problems in the country. The huge percentage of unemployed residents may have contributed to horrible crime rates in the city, which is located 40 miles east of Oakland and San Francisco. Stockton was rated one of the most miserable cities to live in the country by Forbes in March, 2010. Violent crime was one of the chief measurements for its ranking. Of the 267 cities with populations over 100,000, Stockton has the 27th highest number of murders per 1,000 people and the 12th most aggravated assaults per 1,000. Last year, recognizing the crime problems in the city, the state temporarily diverted hundreds of California Highway Patrol officers to aid the city's overwhelmed police department.

It's probably not getting safer...the police department is just so far behind in their reports that not everything has been logged in since last year.

My neighbor got robbed a while back and the cops never showed after she called 911. 9-fricken-one-one. She was freaked out because she's a woman and came home alone and didn't know if the thieves were still around. She was scared to go back into the house by herself, naturally. Sat outside for hours waiting. :|
 
Sing along

911 is a joke in Oaktown.

Oakland needs to pick it up my home town (Flint) is kicking there ass. 20 violent crimes per 1000 people, wow.
 
I think it's because folks aren't reporting the crimes because of the lack of police.
 
I count 43 murders so far this year, which extrapolated for the year turns to 28 murders per 100,000.

NYC was 5, and SF about 12.
 
I'm gonna blow up the bridges that connect Oaklamd to us, and just pray that their ghetto mobiles on 24's won't be able to make it all the way around the bay to us....

How telling is it that our resident BARFer from Stockton didn't just leave the City, the County, the State, the Time Zone or the Country, he abandoned the entire fucking CONTINENT!
