Philly is only dangerous if your name is Jimmy Johnson and you're the coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

How about the lovely and scenic District of Columbia?

Don't forget all of the Maryland suburbs too. Stay on your side of the river, you freaks!

Can't you get them to put some kind of barrier in the new Wilson Bridge so we can stop them from pouring over our border into Alexandria?

thyocyan: Though Philly does have Camden nearby to make it look better in comparison.


beirut looks better in comparison to camden ;)

Total lies about Philadelphia. It is a horrible place where Young Urban Proffessionals should never think about moving to with their SUVS and spawn in tow. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying, "Hi!" and we eat cheesesteaks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tourists are welcomed to come, but they should be in by nightfall and most certainly shouldn't stray from designated areas and they certainly should say the HELL away from my favorite bars.

Once again, New Yorker, PA and South Jersey Suburbanites, if you find a cheap house here that means it is haunted by one of Ben Franklin's sex slaves. Ever have a ghost poop on your stomach?

Homosexuals roam the streets holding hands in public. We had one Suburban Professional who heard that housing prices were incredible and picked up a sweet deal who woke up in his charming two-bedroom townhouse in Fishtown with a homosexual gang member holding a knife to his throat while another one suckled blood from a slit vein in his wrist.

No one who ever moved here ever got out alive. You have been warned. Philly is a terrible place. Do not move here.

Submitter shoulda been held back a grade; apparently can't read. Published numbers are for the The rankings of the ten biggest U.S. cities, not the top 10 safest big cities. Don't worry, Detriot is still offically a hell hole.

"Oh shiat, a red T!! Turn around right now!!!"


~Said by me when my friend was lost and we drove past a Temple University flag on Broad Street.

Um, can I point out the (obviously not very) obvious here.

The "chart" is the crime ranking of JUST the 10 largest US cities. Its not the Top 10 safest cities. Just the 10 largest US cities, is order of crime.

So, hense, the headline is teh stupid.

And I'll agree with Atvar, Gary,IN, in cities over 100,000 population generally makes the Top 5 unsafest.

RyoShin: I was trying to figure out if you were being sarcastic, but I started laughing too hard at this to finish my thought.

Nope. Not sarcastic. We eat babies. I had a baby cheesesteak on an Amoroso roll for lunch and I am having a baby hoagie on an Amoroso's roll from Wawa for dinner. They go good with Yuengling.

Don't. Move. Here. Suburbanite.

Did they exclude West Philly? Last month there was a running gun battle between cops and 2 would-be armed robbers that ended on my block. Do they tally that as -2 armed robberies or something?!?

We're knee deep in ghost poop over here.
