Central Park is actually a very safe place. The park has its own police department and the crime rate is the lowest of any NYC precint. The police patrol the park day and night on bikes, cruisers and on foot. \nThe common misconception that Central Park is a "dangerous place", which probably comes from the media frenzy around the 1986 "Preppy Murder Case", couldn't be further from the truth. Central Park is in fact a very safe place, which is why 25 million+ people visit the park every day (and night)!\nAnd finally, according to the Central Park Precinct crime statistics provided by the nyc.gov website (http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/pdf/chfdept/cs022pct.pdf), there have been no murders and 1 rape in the past two years. Needless to say, I feel very safe in Central Park.

Besides the obvious San Francisco and New York City, try Iowa City, Iowa.  I know you are thinking "Iowa?  Isn't that where the farmers and hicks live?" but Iowa City is one of the most liberal and welcoming towns in the world.  Because it houses a huge and world renowned university, the population in Iowa City is very diverse and therefore, very friendly.

OC is much safer than LA, but down here in San Diego county traffic and congestion are quickly becoming just like LA!  Ironically, the freeways were remarkably free-flowing on May 1st!

There are plenty of places here you can live an open life and be safe...Washington DC, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, San Diego...in fact, most large US cities are very open and broad minded. Why Canada? Just curious.

It is not at all dangerous outside the cities. Probably more safer.\n\nWe have crime like every country but I think you would find that most people are decent and friendly.\n\nAs a young woman, I feel very safe in this country.

Nope, I have lived in New York, Las Vegas, California (briefly), and Idaho (Lewiston), as well as Tucson, Arizona where I currently am.  None of the above were particularly clean, safe, or economically secure.  \n\nIf you want cleanliness, safety, and economic development, move to a suburb or a rural area, and commute to work if you need to.

San Francisco! It's warmer, less crowded, and is a healthier place to live!

Well, I don't know the SAFEST, because I havn't been everywhere, but I can tell you about 3 places that I have been that seem nice to raise a family.\n#1- I grew up in a suburb called Grandview Heights in Ohio. (By Columbus) It's not real big, but it is quiet, great schools, great location, no trash on the ground, kind of pricey (well...prob. not compared to CA),temperatures go from -10(with windchill) to maybe 100(those are extremes, though), we don't get a lot of snow, though weather in Ohio can be sunny one minute and rainy the next and it's mostly white.(Don't know if that matters to you) It's 10 minutes from downtown, 10 minutes from OSU and 5 minutes to shopping. Now Columbus itself is rough in some parts, but Grandview is NOT at all! Don't speed in Columbus!\n#2- I'm currently in Luna Pier, MI. It's just North of Toledo, OH. It's right on Lake Erie with beautiful homes, though there's not much right here, shopping is about 12 minutes away(freeway) in Toledo. It is truly a SMALL town!(Mostly black and white)It's pretty windy.\n#3- Moon Township, PA (by Pittsburgh) is nice, convenient and clean. Plus, they don't tax on clothes and they have no federal tax! It's by an army base. Mixed races.Nobody seems todo the speed limit, except by schools. \nNow I've been to Cherry Hill, NJ...NOT a pretty place! NJ's roads are confusing, frustrating and it's like one city after another, hardly any green. Plus, it has one of the highest crime cities in the U.S, along with Indiana. Virginia's tax is insane!!! Hopes this help a little!

If you think the U.S. has the world's worst crime rate, wrong! It's South Africa. The country's black majority, who has bore the brunt of over four decades of apartheid, are committing most of the violent crimes there. If you ever plan to travel to South Africa, stay away from the townships (ghettos). Violence is all abound there.
