Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
While it's still a notably safe (albeit coma-inducing) city, San Jose, unfairly maligned as the armpit of California, was ranked below New York City recently when it comes to safety. According to last year's FBI crime statistics, San Jose came in behind Honolulu, El Paso, and New York City as the country's safest city. San Jose Councilman Sam Liccardo claims, "When it comes to sexual assaults, murders, crimes of a very violent and predatory nature, San Jose is clearly a very safe city relative to its peers." But when Bart opens its much-needed arm down to Santa Clara, we imagine their crime stats will rise.

NEW YORK CITY?!?
Get the rope...
Unfairly? Live there a while.
There's a reason I moved north.
Anyone have a link to the complete list? Search on the FBI's site only turned up a preliminary report from June that didn't break down by city.
Some blog is reporting this is the worst 10, but without link or citation:
New Orleans
Camden, N.J.
Detroit
St. Louis
Oakland, Calif.
Flint, Mich.
Gary, Ind.
Birmingham, Ala.
Richmond, Calif.
North Charleston, S.C.
i thought fresno was the armpit of california.
fresno (or riverside) would be the crotch.
East San Jose can get pretty gritty.
I just wanna say I live here and yes, it sucks. A lot. It's really boring and you cannot avoid spending at least an hour behind the wheel of a car everyday.
All it has going for it is jobs and safety,.. oh wait. (and that ohwait goes for both)
