Don't fly here...

Anyone regularly fly out of any of these cities? Are they as bad as
they make them sound?

I live in Richmond; perhaps someone saw my flying and bumped us up on the
list?

We're slipping though; I think at one time we were second only to D.C.. We
can't seem to do anything right.

But seriously, it sure doesn't seem as bad as you might expect. Every town
has it's problem areas, and ours is obviously no exception, but it has
enough good things about it to warrant staying and helping it improve. Most
people I know who move to greener pastures end up right back here.

Further, the statistics for Richmond (and perhaps other cities as
well) are skewed in that the crime stats for the City do not include
the suburbs in the surrounding counties that normally balance out the
crime rate. As a homeowner in Richmond and a resident in DC, I feel
much safer in Richmond than I do in DC...especially in the air

That's why the stats ar for cities, not metro areas.

I'd feel safer anywhere besides DC.

Which is why these stats are meaningless.
