I have lived in over a dozen cities including New York, Chicago, New Orleans, san Francisco, Seattle, Boise, Topeka, Jackson Miss, San Antonio, Dallas, Bakersfield, CA, Tampa, Fl, and Miami. My experience has been in large cities, it is the neighborhood you live and work in that is important as far as crime is concerned. Most cities with high crime rates regardless of the politics can trace their high crime rate to a one or two small sections of the city. For example, NYC is the 2nd safest city in America-as long as you're not in questionable areas like Soundview Terrace in the Bronx or South Jamaica in Queens.
Answer 1 of 10: I will be arriving pretty late at night, around 10-11pm or so. I plan to take the subway and probably walk a little. How safe it is to do so?
