I love all the replies of "I used to live in NYC" or "I just visited"....yeah hoss, we get it, your perspective invalidates every crime stat, DA impotence, and shortage of police/quitting issue that NYC has currently.
PITT playing in the Bronx is ridiculous

But they're not afraid to be in Manhattan otherwise? This is confusing. Who am I supposed to be afraid of, again?
i guess when they have free rooms at 5 star hotels, the fear goes away. they get booted from the complimentary room and board and have to pay their own way, and well i guess the fear is real, hence they are canada bound..
you dont be afraid of anything Dan, except for pitt hoops losing to L'Ville tonight cause that's Quad 4 territory bro and we dont need no Quad 4 losses in our life.
Maybe if you had a heroine with you, your fear of being in the company of minorities would lessen
It’s what apparently the nypost is telling these dopes
Also. Everyone is moving out of California. Its too expensive to live there 😁
lol, i love it. and yes, i''d be the hit of baltimore. the problem is, to get it, i first have to step in dog crap,, i mean, go to the inner city and obtain some..

I never said to not visit NYC, I just said that you are at a higher chance of having an act of violence happen to you walking down the street in NYC, then you would doing the same thing in Morgantown, WV.
My response was in no way meant as some sort of rebuttal to your post. I’m fact, I don’t have a clue how safe Morgantown is.
I just simply wanted to pass along information about NYC from my perspective - someone who has lived in that city for many years and now goes into it frequently from my place just across the river.
I want people to know that there is indeed a real uptick in crime and violence over the past few years -but the crime and violence is not nearly as rampant as the media sometimes makes it out to be.
New York is by far the biggest city in America. As such, one should always be a little more aware of their surroundings. Still, I would say that NYC is rather safe overall. Just be a little more aware of your surroundings than usual- especially when you are on the subway platforms. That said, I have not personally seen any violence or crime any of the times I’ve been in the city over the past 2 years.
Even if that is true, the chances are so close to 0, that its not even worth discussing. Chances of being RANDOMLY assaulted walking down the street in Manhattan are like .000000001% and in Morgantown its probably .00000000001%.
Wrong.
Former NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce says it's alarming.
"We're in different times, now. This is not a spike. It's not a trend. We're in a crime surge right now," Boyce said.
Chief Boyce credits officers for making arrests but blames prosecutors and judges for downgrading crimes.
If you walk down the street in Manhattan, what is the chance you are randomly assaulted? 40%? I need a number. Its an infinitely low chance. The violent crime rate is higher right now in Morgantown than NYC.

Nearly half the people in Manhattan are assaulted every day? The humanity!
Jesus Christ, can we all promise to go to this game just so SMF and PIttDan can finally shut the f up about new york city?
Seriously. lets just freakin go, have fun, get drunk and watch pitt beat a terrible cuse team. and that way, pittdan and smf can rant about something else.. if i read another damn post about morgantown vs new york city crime rates, im going to puke..
im willing to drop 1500 bucks just to quiet these two up about this topic, who's coming with me? oh and for the record, if i go and get raped by a homeless crack addict, my lost innocence is on you both..

You're awfully trusting of me to think the crack addict will get to you first.😉
Maybe 40% is too high but I do believe there are people out there that believe if they go to Manhattan (and keep in mind, Manhattan, specifically midtown Manhattan is where the vast majority of tourists spend their time), where most crime videos they see on Newsmax are in other boroughs, they have like a 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 chance of someone walking up to them in Times Square and shooting them or mugging them. The chance of that happening is so tiny, about the same of it happening in Morgantown. And if you are a drunk obnoxious Pitt fan, you are in far more danger on a gameday in Morgantown than in NYC.
Homeless crackheads in New York City would be so lucky to be with someone of my looks and stature
Freeport and Dan have great senses of humor. Like u two goofballs. Still undecided on SMF though.

Depending on who you believe, most cities of all sizes hover at 1% or lower for violent crime rates. And for all your ranting about Morgantown, it's about twice as safe as Dahntahn, Yinzerville.
Google is your friend.

Mostly jagging you. You're allowed to feel however you want about NYC but it's really not that bad unless you want to take a deep dive into one of the bad areas of town. No different than Pittsburgh in that respect.
No different than anywhere in that respect.
Anyone can find trouble if they look for it.
Most people know where trouble can be found and go out of their way to avoid it. You don't totally avoid cities because there are bad neighborhoods. Just stay out of those neighborhoods! Pretty simple.
I’ve been there once as a young’in. Would actually really like to visit nyc as an adult. No anti nyc feelings from me.
I’m sure like any city, there are places to avoid and places that are incredible.

NYC is intense. And expensive. Can be very overwhelming. Definitely not for everyone. I can take a few days of it and that's it. Very different than any other large city I've been to.
Considering going to this game. I will never make a road trip to Syracuse.
Could be a nice Beterans Day weekend trip to NYC. Big win for Pitt getting out of a road game at the dome.

Okay. Now real slowly, use that same database and go look at NYC and do a little of math.
