Why Is There High Crime In Large Cities?

[struth]

More people are trying to get those same jobs. Of course it would be interesting to see the unemployment rate in rural Mississippi vs. Jackson, Mississippi.

So you have a better chance of getting a job in rural TN at a auto plant, not to mention a better paying job then working at a restaurant in Chicago, not to mention less likely to be a victim of a crime.

You know, everything I've been saying.

Yeah, after re-reading my post I should not have said that if you want a job you move to the city, if you don't want a job you move to the city and collect unemployment because it isn't unemployment you would be collecting, it would be government benefits for those who don't want to work, including public housing.

In wonk-speak, the figure he’s referring to is the "closed-group unfunded obligation estimate for the Social Security program." In layman’s terms, it’s the inflation-adjusted dollar value of benefits paid — beyond the participants’ tax payments — for all past and current beneficiaries by the time of their death.

According to this calculation, past and current generations will pay $71.3 trillion in payroll taxes but will receive $93.4 trillion in benefits. Adjusting for past and future transfers from the federal Treasury, the difference between "paid-in" and "paid-out" works out to $21.6 trillion

In my opinion, it's simply a matter of numbers (more people means a higher concentration of bad actors) and more opportunity. (More people, places, and things, easily accessed for victimization.)

But there are other numbers. The number of law enforcement officers in a large city far exceeds the number of officers in Bumfuck, Iowa.

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (4.0 percent), adult women
(3.7 percent), teenagers (15.2 percent), Whites (3.7 percent), Blacks (7.2 percent), Asians
(3.9 percent), and Hispanics (5.0 percent) showed little change in July. (See tables A-1, A-2,
and A-3.)

Crime is half what it was in the 90's. You are twice as safe now than you were growing up. You people are the biggest snowflakes and purveyors of fake news ever gathered in one place. Congratulations.

Some types of families did much better than average. A couple with only one spouse working (and receiving the same average wage) would have paid in $361,000 if they turned 65 in 2010, but can expect to get back $854,000 — more than double what they paid in. In 1980, this same 65-year-old couple would have received five times more than what they paid in, while in 1960, such a couple would have ended up with 14 times what they put in.

Such findings suggest that, even allowing for inflation and investment gains, many seniors will receive much more in benefits than what they paid in.

Jackson TN is not a metro area. It has a population of about 68K people....a metro in TN would be like Memphis with a population of nearly 700K

see the difference?

Thats a metro. San Antonio has more than a million. If you had a point, no one knows what it is.
And yes, thats just one plant.

Also Jackson Tennessee has a higher than average crime rate.

Jackson, TN crime rates and safety statistics

Crime rates in Jackson, TN are significantly higher than the national average, with an overall crime rate of 70.99 compared to the national rate of 33.37, and violent and property crime rates also exceeding national figures. Despite these statistics, local insights from Nextdoor Neighbors...

68k is not a metro area, it's small rural city. Jackson and TN over all far safer then Chicago.

No. You've not made that statement. You just said Jackson had an auto plant-it employs 300 people FYI. Thats not a lot. You noted nothing about Jackon's unemployment rate, its industries etc. Its still a metro.
