Its crazy indeed. As a New Yorker I'm actually glad that NYC has turned into one of the safest large cities in the world. Given the awful rep it used to have for crime.
I mean New York used to be synonymous with negative crime images, kind of the image people have today when they think of Detroit, then it turned around under Rudy Guiliani.
*I am going to edit the "my city alone' part bc we have surrounding counties too, which I didn't mention with the number amount so I want to ensure the info is correctly received...
I love what has happened to NYC...its reputation (overseas too) was very grim in terms of safety.....When I walk the streets there as much as I do now, I JUST LOVE it. I LOVE visiting NYC! My hats off the its people all working towards it's quality of life. And didn't it start at the petty level, aka pan-handling, window washing...and worked its way up?
