New York City is almost as polite as Tokyo, almost as safe as Tokyo, and almost as convenient as Tokyo. How amazing is that.
NYC and Tokyo's crime rates are vastly different. Not even the same neighborhood.

So perhaps the qualifier there should be "Safer?", not safe. Because by any measure, NYC is safe. And the *feeling of safeness* is probably negligible between the two cities.

Safety is a purely relative measure. You seem to think there's an absolute, when the human perception of risk doesn't work that way.

Well, up to a certain point. But there are obvious safe and unsafe areas purely by the numbers. Let's discourage safety relativism at all costs. A lot of that can be traced to eventual decline, lack of investment, etc in areas that were once otherwise safe but perception ruined
