Speaking of American cities, you know what's weird, for two years everyone has been talking about Minneapolis is a "no-go" zone and was totally destroyed over the summer of hate. I just got back from there for a work trip and it was lovely. I was touring some business interests and ate out at a bunch of different spots and didn't see anything bad at all. I was totally in shock. The guy I was working with told me it was all really overblown and they hated how people still said it because the tourist bucks have dried up there.
On the way home I had a layover in NYC and spent 12 hours there, I went to Central Park where I'd heard on this board that you'll get mugged and it's dangerous and gross, but I didn't see any of that.

We'd need more than just those pictures.
Depends when you go there, but it’s getting worse and worse by the day.
NYC is not what it used to be.
I went right before Covid and my friends and I thought this was so fun only an hour drive we’re gonna do this all summer!
Then Covid hit and riots and I went back years after about 1 year ago or so, and Covid had decimated it.
Garbage in the streets worse than ever, dirty masks, homeless and thugs wearing dirty gross masks, shutdowns etc.
Now you have the immigrant and crime wave, it’s just a claustrophobic mess.
Wouldn’t be caught going back to Central Park after dark.
I did not have that experience in NYC at all.
