Oaklamd is getting safer!

The drop in population has not affected crime, just the FBIs stupidity.
 
It's because the new real O-town gangsters running the town wear glittery mickey mouse ears, sell adderol to HS students and worry about which designer labels to wear.

All that crack and murderin shit is so 2000.
 
Memphis, represent yo! (which is probably why I always felt comfortable when I lived in OaklaMd)



5. Memphis, Tenn.

Population: 673,650
Violent Crime Per 1,000: 15.4
2010 Murders: 89
Median Income: $34,203 (31.8% below national average)
Unemployment Rate: 9.9% (0.9% above national average)

Memphis has high rates for all the violent crimes considered for 24/7 Wall St.'s rankings. It has the sixth highest rate in the country. Incidents of violent crime in the city dropped slightly less than 15% between 2009 and 2010 though. Memphis Mayor AC Wharton attributes this decrease to Operation Safe Community, a citywide plan developed in 2005. The plan consists of a number of strategies meant to increase crime prevention, through toughening punishments for criminals, and the effectiveness of the city's legal system, through changes such as expanding court programs so that they operate consistently and at full capacity.

I'd live in Oakland before I lived in Stockton.

Hell, I'd live in Tijuana before I lived in Stockton. :twofinger
 
You Foo's know nothing about dodging bullets & shit. :hand

3. St. Louis

Population: 355,151
Violent Crime Per 1,000: 17.5
2010 Murders: 144
Median Income: $34,801 (30.7% below national average)
Unemployment Rate: 9.3% (0.3% above national average)

Violent crime in St. Louis fell dramatically between 2009 and 2010, and has decreased since 2007. Despite this, crime rates remain extremely high compared with other cities. In 2010, the city's murder rate and rate of aggravated assault were each the third worst in the country. With regards to both violent and nonviolent crime, St. Louis was rated the most dangerous city based on FBI data released six months ago. As of December 2010, the murder rate in St. Louis was 6.3 times that of the state of Missouri. The city's gunshot murder rate for residents between 10 to 19 years old is also the second highest in the country, behind only New Orleans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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. :|

You people are crazy. Oaklamd is one of the safest places in US after they drove out all the evil gun dealers. Along with Chikamgo and Washimgnon.

Stockton's got some nice ass neighborhoods. I was there yesterday to for my little sister's HS graduation and you can tell there's some serious money in that town. It's too bad the rest of it is a giant shithole.
 
Patches of the west-side near UOP is nice but everywhere else is fucked. Each suburb has little gang-clicks with something to prove. The Gen-X generation hoods are generally easy to spot (Downtown, Mickey Grove, North El Dorado, and the complete South Side) and if you stay off those streets; you're pretty much unaffected. The problem is with the Gen-Y generation that floods the schools and nice neighbourhoods with burglaries, car thefts, and bashings.
 
a lot of the gun violence is gang related. if you're not black/brown and stay out of certain (incredibly obvious unless you're a total gringo) neighborhoods, you're really as safe as in any bug city. muggings happen, it's a big city, get over it.

the cops are overworked (and sometimes overzealous), the city council is hampered by infighting and not knowing what their priorities are. sure, we got problems, but I really don't think we got it that much worse than a lot of metropolitan areas (and a helluva lot better than some).
 
I wonder how they'd react if i played Raining Blood...
