    When I was growing up in Missouri, I dreamed of a simple A frame overlooking one of the rivers or living on a house boat.
    Now that I'm 57, take insulin, and survived a heart attack, I'm looking for a small condo near a good hospital that can handle any future medical needs. It doesn't take much to change one's priorities in life.
    As always, stay happy healthy and safe. Enjoy your day 🌞 Keep Smiling 😃 and thanks for all of the entertaining and informative videos 👍

    Hurts my heart to hear that New Mexico is worst for violent crime. I visited for a few weeks, doing a private study of climatic architectural methods & styles during the '90s and stayed in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos. I loved every day of my time there, apart from a bit of altitude sickness in Taos. At no time did I ever feel unsafe or any sense of forbidding.

      There is no place in America like New Mexico, maybe this negative publicity is good, because our population isn't growing like Az, Tx. I absolutely love NM, will never leave. I've also never commited a crime nor been a victim of one. I have in Florida though, a horrendous place to live

    • @friendly-nemesis4754
      @friendly-nemesis4754 5 месяцев назад +12

      This is the fundamental problem with assessing states by their aggregate statistics; Santa Fe and Taos contribute essentially nothing to New Mexico's reputation for crime, and even Albuquerque's crime data is more than a bit misleading; the bad parts in and around the South Valley are real trouble, but there are vast swaths of the city that are as safe as you could wish. One thing that definitely brings the state average down in terms of both crime and poverty are the reservation territories on the northwest side of the state; a higher percentage of the population of New Mexico is aboriginal than in any of the other lower 48, and the tribal reservation communities there are dirt-poor and riddled with (often drug-and/or-alcohol-fueled) crime. As bad as the worst areas of New Mexico are, their impact simply isn't very far-reaching, and they shouldn't be taken as an indictment of even the majority of the state, much less all of it.

Everett is no prize either, but the video seemed to imply Seattle...while it's gone downhill for sure over the years, it's not the worst. A quick Google search told me the violent crime rate in Seattle was 736/100k a couple years ago which surprised me, BUT...recent figures for Tacoma came in far, far worse. 1610/100k.

Am in WA now and agree Seattle area is getting worse, lived up here for near 20 years and the last 3 have been insane.

    Briggs, I'm a long time CA'ian. Just a little footnote Tijuana Mexico used to be the gateway to Baja and great tourist attraction for visitors to San Diego. Tijuana this year has 700 murders for 2024. The U.S. state dept has declared it a "dangerous tourist destination" the drug, gun, human trafficking are beyond epidemic levels.

      I lived in Tijuana for five years, and i felt pretty safe even though my neighborhood, Colonia Libertad, was considered to be the most dangerous. Most of the crime is cartel related, and they don't like harming foreigners because they know it would be bad for them.

It’s really sad and I almost started crying.

      He's doing it per 100k people. Since NY has 19+ million people and NYC has 8+ million, plus another 2-4 million commute daily from the metro area like NJ and CT, plus tourists, the number of crime victims is relatively low compared to the population size.
      You also hear about NY crime more because of the larger population, the major news/entertainment outlets are here, plus it's the financial capital of the country...if not the world.
      For example, you might hear about an attack in the subway making national news, but 3+ million people take the subway daily (and another 1.4 million take buses daily). So you have a 1 in 3 to 5 million chance getting attacked!! Doesn't sound that high now. You have a much higher chance getting into a deadly car accident.

      I suppose you say that because Texas and Florida are large and populous states. I have lived in Florida all of my life. Despite our crazy reputation, I have rarely felt unsafe here.
      Briggs' statistics do not lie. Sure, like most major urban areas, we have our problem cities such as Miami, Jacksonville etc. But most of our counties' law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are tough on crime. Gov. DeSantis is a big supporter of law enforcement and sees it as an essential public service. We have strong self-defense and property rights laws and citizens are allowed to legally carry firearms for self-protection.
      From what I can tell. Texas doesn't (and has never) mess around either,
      There has to be a correlation.
      Ok, Florida and DeSantis haters, it's your turn to chime in.

    I have a minor in law. I would be glad to tell you what 'simple assault is.' Sit back and enjoy.
    There are three types of assault charges, assault (simple assault), battery (aggrevated assault), and assault with a deadly weapon. FYI, getting punched by Mike Tyson is NOT considered assault with a deadly weapon. Hands, feet, all body parts, do NOT count as a deadly weapon.
    1. Assault "Simple Assault":
    Hitting, kicking, headbutting, grabbing, slapping, a victim's body that's not considered the private parts (penis, butt, vagina, boobs "women"). No weapon involved.
    2. Battery (Aggrevated Assault):
    Assualting a victim and it leads to an injury. It does NOT have to be someone attacking someone. It could also be someone kissing someone without permission. Look up Jackson Mahomes. The brother of QB Patrick Mahomes II.
    Assault with a Deadly Weapon:
    This could be any item & it doesn't have to be a deadly weapon. It could be a newspaper, a sandal, a belt, a knife, a gun, a car, a sword, a book, a trash can, another animal by the suspect (dog, cat, etc), any item that is NOT the suspect's body.

    Legalizing drugs may not have been so bad if it wasn't for the way it was done.
    Alcohol is legal pretty much everywhere. Being blotto drunk in public is not. But doing drugs in public was allowed. Not just being high in public, but actually shooting up drugs in public was OK. That's the beginning of the failure right there. Then, when you spend all your money on drugs and end up homeless, that was allowed too. Just set up a tent as close to your dealer as you can get. If they approached legal drug use the way they did alcohol use, maybe it wouldn't have been the disaster it turned into. Legal to do, but in private, not in public. and if it is getting you in trouble, intervene with mandatory counciling, the way they do with alcohol use.
    I can't help thinking it was set up this way on purpose. This way, they can say they did what the public wanted, and it didn't work, then use that as an excuse to take more control of everything, and everyone.
