During a recent press conference, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre explicitly declared that anyone who disagrees with the majority of Americans is,...
Oh, wait--maybe part of the answer is that NYC is safer (e.g. lower murder rate) than, say, Florida?
No idea what number your talking about? Murder per capita? I’d think that the population density would make NYC seem less safe even if the rate is lower.
Yes, in general "rate" means "per unit of population" rather than absolute totals. This got hashed out some months ago on this board: In recent years Florida (the state) has had more murders per 100,000 residents than New York (the city) has had.
But "feeling safe" is pretty neighborhood-specific in my experience. I actually feel safe everywhere in NYC, but TBH slightly less so in Harlem, where I work, than in Greenwich Village, where I live.
OTOH my old (suburban) neighborhood in Orlando has felt kinda dicey, the last couple times I visited.

I’m in Florida but I’m over 100 miles from Miami where there may be a higher murder rate. I feel perfectly safe anywhere within 100 miles. You?

There were algorithms during the pandemic that were used to show the number of interactions people had with other people. it was used to model the spread of covid and generally people in high density areas have lots more interactions. I’m imagining you have way more interactions with other people on a daily basis than most people almost anywhere in Florida. That includes interactions with criminals so you’re likely less safe than the vast majority of people in Florida. Your former neighbors perception of crime is, in part, based on the recent trends in crime. Something you seem to be ignoring while in NYC. Even your current mayor thinks crime is accelerating.

1) As soon as you posted about feeling safe, you made the topic subjective. I felt a little less safe in my old, now somewhat sketchy, neighborhood in Orlando than I feel anywhere in NYC.
2) There's no question that someone in NYC is likely to have more interactions with others than someone in the sticks would. But that figures in to the crime stats. Yes, NYCers (on average) will likely have interactions with more people, including criminals, than Floridians (on average) will--but Florida STILL has a higher murder rate! I don't know why this isn't clear.
Bottom line: Regardless of the frequency of personal interactions, the average Florida resident has a somewhat higher chance of being murdered than the average NYC residentand is somewhat less safe in that regard.
3) Crime rates *are* rising, throughout the country and in NYC, and I literally don't know anyone who disputes that. (A pandemic and its disruptions can have a long-lasting effect.) I remember that that was factored in, though, by the people who used the most recent stats when calculating and comparing murder rates.
Chicago for sure has lost population. As have most American cities.
meanwhile rents are rising quickly in big US cities incl Chicago. Doesn't sound like an exodus to me. Although inflation has helped boost rents.
"The South and Northeast have seen the largest rent increases. Miami, where rents were up 26.2% from a year ago, saw the biggest increase among the 50 largest US cities for the 10th-straight month. Miami was followed by New York, Boston, Chicago, and Orlando."
You presented data relative to presidential voting. The only blue city in red state argument I’ve heard is about crime and since police forces are run by cities that’s highly relevant.
Neither rural nor urban America is doing well.
Both are doing a lot more murdering.
WSJ:
Homicide rates in rural America rose 25% in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was the largest rural increase since the agency began tracking such data in 1999. The CDC considers counties rural if they are located outside metropolitan areas defined by the federal government. The rise came close to the 30% spike in homicide rates in metropolitan areas in 2020.
That's just wildly dishonest... but you knew that before even hit enter on that bogus comment.
Murder rates in rural areas are 2 per 100,000. In urban areas it's 25 per 100,000.
Closer look. That doesn’t include the pandemic at all and the United States is on the list. Wow.
just wacky and disappointing how lock-step 'conservatives' are against clean energy. It's like they look into the future and see raw terror. Why is that? Why don't they think technology and markets will make clean energy work?
I think conservatives are just generally fearful people. Fearful of immigrants, green energy, democracy, etc. If they thought it through they'd be massive green fans.
Serious question, what did he say that indicated conservatives are "against" clean energy?
Democrats have fought against natural gas, nuclear, and now even hydro. My Democrat governor and senator are now trying to shut down the 100% clean hydro plant that powers a lot of the state. Conservatives are relatively speaking the pragmatists. Texans have built tons of wind farms, some of which are even high enough to generate base load. But they aren't under the delusion that the world will be carbon neutral by 2050 or whatever.
Sorry for the multiple posts. That’s now nearly 3 year old data and is from when Trump was President. It covers 15 years with two data points so trends over that long period get buried. And the emissions due to exports get subtracted out from a country’s data so even China could look good. Though I’m not sure how you would determine what emissions are related to production of exports. Since it lacks detail on trends I wouldn’t doubt that it lacks detail on the emissions due to exports.
I’d be concerned if someone presented something that lacking in detail.
Yes, Agip should be explaining this to China, or the entire developing world, who plan to keep increasing CO2 emissions for at least another decade.

Agip knows he is being misleading. Murder rates in rural areas are skyrocketing, going from 1.6 per 100,000 to 2 per 100,000. Wow.

That’s not evident from the data. That only works if you consider crime in these two places to be homogeneous. It’s not and probably less homogeneous in Florida since crime is a local issue and you’re lumping the entire state together.
Frankly I don't care necessarily what BS political party runs the country just as long as every speech is not directed at how one party is full of terrorist. Biden is supposed to the president is he not? However every time this guy comes on to talk he is constantly just trying to attack Trump and Republicans he just needs to shut his mouth and do his job which is supposedly to run the country. I don't care at all about his issues with Trump I care about our country being run correctly which Biden has already proven he is incapable of doing! Also now I am reading about how they are pushing for laws to help minorities get home loans with zero down this is not equal the guy is not only hateful towards Republicans he also a racist towards his own race. I am not a racist and think equality needs to be directed equally. This idea that it is now time for one race to get hammered because of what happened generations ago it garbage it is doing zero to advance our country. It is 2022 people we should be way passed the crap that this guy is trying to push. Get him out of office.

The part about murder rate is correct. The highlighted part is not evident from the data you presented.
