Reply to comment by Dry_Mastodon7574 in New York City is absolutely gorgeous by ProGamerMatt

I remember the first time I told a relative who said that (also lives in Florida) that Florida has a worst crime rate, they looked shocked.

Idk why, they've told me about insane shit that has happened right in their housing complex and to people they know. But in their heads, that's not "crime". Well it is, but not the kind of abstract crime that gets talked about in the news.

It's also funny that whenever I visit, they have NYC news on.

We just have the most influential “local” media in the world. People from all over the country read the damn NYT, WSJ, NY Post, the New Yorker etc. IIRC NYC is literally the safest large (>1M people) in the country

Yeah, the sad reality is that outside of NYC (and other major cities such as Chicago and Boston), America is pretty starved for local journalism.

Urban Sprawl makes local journalism difficult.

Also newspapers cutting staff because journalism isn't as prosperous a sector as it used to be.
