Most Dangerous Cities

[tulitlikeitis]

The new Morgan Quinto survey is out and Tulsa again makes it into the top tier of dangerous cities (as I remember it is about 37th out of 370). Tulsa is now ranked more dangerous than other notables such as Miami, Houston, Phoenix, NYC and many, many other cities.

Tulsa is nowhere to be found on the list. Houston, on the other hand, is right in the mix on the dangerous side, coming in at number 10 on the most dangerous cities list. Broken Arrow is on the Safest 25 list. Get your facts straight before posting garbage.

oh come on, this is bull****... tulsa is number 335 but big ol' broken arrow is in the top 20? let's just say tulsa incorporated ba and jenks, what would that do to the data? it is the same with the kc,mo/kc,ks data compared to overland park, olathe, lee's summit... it is all really the same damn town...

but back on topic, our crime rate is distrubing...

Our crime rate WAS disturbing.

Isn't this based on '05 numbers when good old LaFortune was at odds with the Police and we seemingly had a murder a day and no plan to work on crime?

And again, in the last six months crime is way, way down since the mayors office is no longer vacant.  And it really seems it WAS vacant when LaFortune was mayor.


And, Bruno is right, the suburbs have little crime. Jenks for example had ZERO violent crimes in 2005. None. What is Tulsa's metro crime rate even for '05 when the city was out of control?

I originally came from near St. Louis, which ranked No. 1. Woohoo!

As my wife would say, if a Tulsa gang-banger ever met one from St. Louis, the Tulsan would pee down his leg.

In comparison, Tulsa seems tame -- even when LaFortune was MIA during the crime surge.

Swake.. just go to the TPD website and they have a complete itemized list for 2005.. and partial year 2006 ....

And yes rwarn... Tulsa is quite a bit more tame than other places I have lived..

To add to the comment about "gangbangers"
If Tulsa Gang members were to come in contact with even the smallest "mexican american" gang from Podunk Calif. they would surrender their arms immediately and take up gardening or something...... [8D]

When comparing two cities, the bigger city has bigger and worse bad areas and bigger and nicer good areas. The bad areas and good areas are located in different places in metropolitan areas. The majority of the bad areas are usually in the city and majority of the good areas are usually in the suburbs, but this is not always the case. It would be much better for this survey to compare metropolitan areas instead of cities proper.

I see that they have metropolitan areas at the bottom, but is the 37th that you quoted, is the city or metropolitan area?

I could not agree more.

I have not lived in Tulsa all my life - but I have been here for most of it.

I can remember a time when a murder was something you just didn't see that often. There was a time when murder wasn't concidered "Just one of those things that happen in a city".

Bank robberies - there was seldom a bank robbery. Just the occational convenience store hit now and then. Nothing like it is now where we have several bank robberies a month, store robberies by the dozens almost every night.

They finally caught the seriel rapist that was snatching little girls from their beds at night.

Tulsa 37th Unsafest City? I can see that. Our crime rate is off the charts right now and it won't change until we have officers on our streets again and doing their job.

Think about this: Are there places in Tulsa you won't go after dark? Why?
