Too bad the best places to raise a family don't coincide with the best places to find work.

I wonder where the authors of this live? Could it be NY?

My initial thought was that looks like a list of fairly boring places, in terms of culture. To raise a family, I can see the validity. But if you're a teenager, or a young adult, that looks more like a list of the 10 best "metro" areas to take a nap.

I would say the best places to find work would be the best places to raise a family.

I almost moved to Des Moines Iowa when I was younger, my dad worked for TMC and their headquarters is there, he was going to be a trainer but instead we stayed in Bradford.

It's the "I AM KIND" that made me laugh, specifically.

skyline - wait until you "grow up" a little bit (this is by no means any sort of put-down, I just don't think you've seen the "real world" enough or through the right eyes yet).

Places with a lot of jobs usually have a lot of money. Where there's a lot of money, there's a lot of nice things, and also usually drugs. The 'burbs have their crime, and schools usually aren't as good as they should be, because the local government is worried about controlling crime, improving transportation, and making money for their corrupt little selves. It's a vicious cycle.

The places that are best for raising a family are that good because there isn't a lot of money to corrupt the sanctity of family and human relationships. (IMHO)

In all fairness you're probably #2 in the state in gang activity and murder behind the cesspool that is NYC

Don't know when the last time you went to NYC was, but it really isn't that bad as far as crime goes anymore. There are neighborhoods in Rochester and Buffalo that would be way more dangerous to the average tourist than any place in Manhattan. Most of Brooklyn is safe too except East New York.

I like how you conveniently leave out the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Pretty sure Queens or the Bronx has plenty more dangerous areas than Rochester or Buffalo.

One of my friends I visited on my trip last month lives in Queens, but that was my first time there. His neighborhood was fine, but that's only one of course. Another friend just bought a house in the south Bronx, and said that neighborhood used to be quite bad, but is changing. I've been only to the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium in that particular burrough, so I can't rightly comment on that one either. I have never been to Staten Island.

However, I can tell you the first time my family went to NYC when I was a kid in the early 80's, our car was broken into, and my mom was mugged. That's how NY used to be. Times Square was chock full of drugs and prostitution. Now it's like Disneyland in a city. NY has changed and is far safer than it was 20, or even 10 years ago.

Hmm, that does help to satisfy my curiosity surrounding what the burroughs are like.

After taking a trip there two years ago, I'm still in awe as to how big NYC is.

Yeah, those property crimes I talked about in my family trip happened where my uncle lived, in the nicest part of Brooklyn at that time. My mother was mugged in broad daylight on a walk in an area my aunt, who was trying to convince my mother that NYC wasn't dangerous, had chosen. Now, there's very little chance of anything like that happening in almost any part of Brooklyn, again with the exception of East New York, which by all accounts is still a neighborhood to avoid.

When I went to visit a friend who live in Manhattan in the East village over a weekend in college in the mid-1990's, our stay was book-ended by two incidents involving police. The night we pulled up to his apartment, there was a cop frisking a guy up against the building wall. Then, while a couple of us waited on the street for our friend to pick us up on our way home, this cop car pulls up to us and the cop asks "Hey, did you guys see anything strange happen out here, like say...a robbery?". There were guys walking down the streets there trying to sell you heroin back then. Now, the East Village is filled with hipsters and trustafarians, and I feel no fear at all there.

Nobody should stay away from NYC out of fear of crime at this point IMO.
