Miami-Dade is actually pretty safe for a US city of its size.

It's got a Toronto-ish population with Toronto-style homicide numbers.

The days of Miami Vice and Scarface are long gone.

The numbers has got to be for City of Miami, not Miami-Dade.

"Figures released by the medical examiner's office this week showed Miami-Dade had 249 murders in 2021"

In other words: still dangerous

Yea, that doesn't make sense.
Palm Beach County has over 40 murders this year already and those are outer suburbs and a smaller population.

Economically, the State has managed to foster an environment that at least doesn't deter investment and certain industries are thriving, which is notable because it's very much a one-party state (Mass. likes to elect GOP governors, but their influence is limited as they're working with a legislature that is 85%+ Democratic).

But there are many things to complain about. Crumbling infrastructure, terrible traffic (which wouldn't really be an issue if the transit system was better functioning, but alas that's for a separate thread), a growing wealth gap, and a housing crisis. There also seems to be some pervasive general PTSD related to the massive cost under-runs, delays, deaths, and just general dumpster fire that the Big Dig project management was such that there's a lack of willingness to think big to creatively tackle big issues. It's amazing to me that we have such great universities and smart people but struggle so much with what seem like small issues.
Interesting point about Mass being a one party state but likes to elect gop govs. “Singaporean democracy” came to mind while the stability and economic investment (partially by not going anti-western after independence) plus policy continuity and technocratic leadership have gained the city some of the best infrastructure in the world. The heavily muzzled opposition may or may not receive a higher share of the vote then they would get in a free and fair election.

I’m not an expert on the city and it’s political intricacies but when looking at certain opinion polls the people don’t trust the opposition to actually lead because well they don’t have a chance to organize and if they do they get locked up or gerrymandered. BUT elections have become a kind of opinion poll for the government people who in a free and fair election may actually want to stick with the peoples action party throw a protest vote because it’s the only way really safe way to express discontent.

There’s a school of thought that if the PAP ran a free and fair election they would probably win anyways even if they can only manage 62% in a heavily rigged system. Or lose an election can just blame the former opposition for mucking things up when they had been so great before.

A truly stable state needs the support of the people the Singaporean technocracy could be on the verge of losing that due to draconian election laws or they already have and their moment has passed them. I could continue down the rabbit hole but I’m not going to.

I just thought that a heavily democratic state that keeps electing gop govs reminded me of the analogy with Singapore and its protest votes also saying well x is unique so yz is a just a cop out sometimes.

* Staying pro western due to a lack of natural resources isn’t the full picture Singapore could be part of Malaysia as another Kuala Lumpur but it took the benevolent tyrant route but the benevolent tyrant’s acchlies heel is always succession..

Brazilian Public Security Yearbook 2021 is out.

This ranking also includes murders by the police (includes homicides, robberies followed by murder, bodily harm followed by death and police killings). Every violent death provoked by other people.

And here the list of all states capitals by homicide rate (per 100,000):

Macapá - 63.2
Salvador - 55.6
Manaus - 52.5
Teresina - 37.0
Boa Vista - 34.8
Fortaleza - 34.3
Recife - 33.1
Porto Velho - 32.4
Maceió - 29.8
Aracaju - 29.4
João Pessoa - 28.1
Natal - 24.0
Rio Branco - 23.1
São Luís - 22.8
Palmas - 22.3
Belém - 22.3
Vitória - 21.1
Porto Alegre - 20.0
Rio de Janeiro - 19.2
Curitiba - 16.7
Goiânia - 16.6
Campo Grande - 15.3
Brasília - 11.2
Florianópolis - 10.8
Belo Horizonte - 10.8
Cuiabá - 10.6
São Paulo - 7.7

As it's been the case for the past 10 years, São Paulo has the lowest rate. This year, six capitals posted growth: Manaus (48.9%), Macapá (31.2%), Boa Vista (9.9%), Porto Velho (8.6%), Teresina (9.5%) e Salvador (3.4%) and the other 19 decline.

Brazil as whole registered 47,503 deaths in 2021, a 6% decline from 2020 (50,448 deaths). That's the lowest number since 2011 (47,215 deaths). The number peaked in 2017, with 64,078 deaths.

90% of victims are men, 10% women. Deaths commited by police officers affects pretty much only men: 99.2%. Mixed and Black were 78% of the victims, and 84% when considered deaths commited by the police.

In 2020, there were 232,676 homicides worldwide. 1/6 of them happened in Brazil.

The US is also very high: 24,576 homicides (CDC), which is above 10%. An incredibly high number for such a wealthy country with very harsh penalties.

The American continent is a mess in this regard. I guess as Africa keeps urbanizing, it can displace it in the future.

Not particularly diverse though and has a strong reputation for racism. In fact, there was a white supremacist march through downtown just last weekend.

Boston is diverse and more diverse than many American cities. Strong reputation for racism? The 1970's is a long time ago.

That white Supremist group that marched in Boston was the Patriot Front. They are a 300 member nationwide organization that travel around, like that anti gay incident in Idaho. Hardly Boston's fault.

Btw. Boston is at 13 murders so far this year. The last murder in Boston was 2.5 weeks ago.

I'm here now. This is a safe, vibrant, beautiful, walkable diverse city.

Compared to the other top tier metros in the US? Nah. It's probably the least diverse except for Seattle. And yeah, it still has a strong reputation for racism in the 2020s.

Boston is the 6th most diverse city in the country.

Boston's More Diverse Than You May Realize
https://www.bostonindicators.org/art...int%20increase).

With regards to it's reputation. Well there are ignorant people everywhere that harbor not on facts but emotion and hearsay. Again that is not Boston's fault that there are uneducated in other parts of the country that don't know any better.

I've seen that diversity index before but in terms of non-Hispanic white population it's still far higher than any other major metro.

Is Boston America’s Most Racist City? Ask a Black Bostonian for Once
Black sports stars and comics from out of town often argue that the Hub is America’s most racist city. Many white residents disagree. But guess whose perspective almost no one is listening to? Black Bostonians'.

Ah too many Whites in Boston
Too many Asians in San Francisco
Too many Latinos in LA
Too many Blacks in Atlanta

Sounds like the issue is you.

What you posted initially is an example of what I meant by people going by hearsay and ignorance. You thought the Patriot Front walk in Boston was Boston people. It is a group that travel around the country.

And I could post an article from every city in the nation about racism.

Adios!
