I live in Oakland (county) MI, 8th from the bottom. It borders Wayne (county) MI (Detroit and environs), second from the top.
I'm in King County, WA, which feels pretty darn safe. Nassau County has to be pin drop quiet sort of safe. I'm in King County, WA, which feels pretty darn safe. Nassau County has to be pin drop quiet sort of safe.
“Fear of crime” should really be “racism” particularly in your context.
Adams whining about crime in NYC and Hochul being "look how i'm taking steps to reduce crime in nyc by flooding subways with cops!" is really a one-two punch to Nassau County's view of the world.
According to the chart you'd think they'd be scared of cars.
My operating theory is when bad things happen to people they go left but when good things happen to people and they get unreasonably paranoid that it might not continue - they turn right

“Protect our borders. TRUMP 2024” billboards and yard signs are up in La Crosse Wisconsin… Media controls what people feel.
