Don't fly here...

The list of the "Ten Most Dangerous Cities in America" was released
today.

Listed as the most dangerous cities a Camden, New Jersey; Detroit,
Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Flint, Michigan; Richmond, Virginia;
Baltimore, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Gary,
Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama.

At the other end of the scale, the safest cities are named as: Newton,
Massachusetts; Clarkstown, New York; Amherst, New York; Mission Viejo,
California; Brick Township, New Jersey; Troy, Michigan; Thousand Oaks,
California; Round Rock, Texas; Lake Forest, California; Cary, North
Carolina.

Strangely, I've flown into three of the ten worst -- and none of the
best! (Although I've visited Mission Viejo...)

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

Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and Thousand Oaks in California, and Cary in
North Carolina don't have airports. Is this a list of cities by crime rate?

If it's possible to fly out of Cary, I'd like to know, I live just
outside the city limits!

I suspect they all have heliports at their hospitals. So yes, people
fly in and out of these cities. It also may be possible to land and
take off on private land or a private lake.

North Carolina don't have airports. Is this a list of cities by crime rate?

I stumbled across it while searching for news on the Nike jet with the
gear problem...

It seems that many of the "best" towns don't have airports, sad to
say...

That's why we live in Durham - for the danger and the airport!

Lake Forrest and Mission Viejo border each other, and are pretty hard
to tell apart. I can't believe anyone would list them as separate
cities, but they are both incorporated. They're both about 10 miles
south of John Wayne Airport (SNA). Thousand Oaks is about 10 miles
east of Camarillo airport.

On the bad list, I've been to Gary, Atlanta, Detroit, New Orleans and
St. Louis. Gary was horrible. There was nothing there. They were
doing the Miss Universe pagent there while I was there (God only knows
how they picked Gary) and the contestants and TV crew never left the
hotel.

The others cities had something worthwhile, even if (large) sections
were off limits. But Gary was hopeless.

I live in Round Rock, Texas. There's no airport here. But, the crime rate
is low, we have the reputation of putting criminals in prison for a long
time. And, the criminals know this and do their business elsewhere.

Listed as the most dangerous cities a Camden, New Jersey; Detroit,
Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Flint, Michigan; Richmond, Virginia;
Baltimore, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Gary,
Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama.


It is interesting to note that one of the top 10 safest,Troy,
Michigan, is ~30 miles from Detroit.

There is a DFAH zone (Do Not F*&K Around Here) established in a 100
yard zone on my home in Alabama. The word is out that there is a crazy
foool who WILL shoot your sorry as@ if you make an attempt to penetrate
his home area.
The neighbors consider it the safest zone in the area for 5
miles.......

I spent most of my life in St. Louis. Personally, I don't understand why
St.Louis was selected as one of the most dangerous cities. I have seen the
good side and the bad side of this town. I considered the Southside of
Chicago, and several towns near Pittsburgh are more dangerous than
St.Louis. So, I have to say that St. Louis is not as bad as reported by CNN.
I support this statement based on what I personally have seen.
