NYC now the safest big city!

How about we say there is no "safest" city out there?
There can be cities that are safer than others but, either way, there's bound to be some sort of trouble or crime commited at some point in time. So I would say, in theory, there really isn't a "safe" city to begin with.
Just my itty-bitty 2 cents :aw:

What need to be clarified is exactly what risk we're talking about in terms of safety and security. And there is no real discussion on exactly what makes a city a "city" in terms of population size. What's the legal description?

actually yes there is criteria on what constitutes the area as "metropolitan" and such in terms of population size. this issue has already been clarified quite a while ago. here's a link for starter. for more information - here. read up on it.

More of.....
Politics. you can vote on being a village, town, or city. Not a "Metropolitan"

Metro areas just develop on its own

there's a criteria for that as well. It's for federal and/or state government especially US Census Bureau to tabulate and organize the data. Locally - it's really up to ya'all to label your humble establishment as town or city.

When it comes to threat & risk analysis, the bureaucrats need to know and such labels are really that important in their analysis.

interesting that you mentioned that. There has been some gossip about mega cities wanting to annex themselves from the state in future because they're becoming more and more powerful - financially, politically, and militarily.

Gotta be able to read between the lines to learn something. I learned myself quite a few things.
 
Larger cities have more inherent problems and increased risk when it comes to one's own life whether it's getting murdered, attacked, be involved in a traffic accident, gang warfare, and other crimes against you. I feel safe walking around alone at night in where I live. Can people say the same thing in NYC or other cities? Not likely.

And if you think living in the rural will make you live longer or better?

Statistics show that people who live in cities are actually living longer than those who live in rural.. it's called The Rural Mortality Gradient:

In simple words, you are more likely to die earlier in the rural than in the metro.
