alt Hacker News> London is a uniquely dangerous city due to Islamic terrorism and Paris due to crime.
There aren’t that many comparable cities to NY. Only London and NY reach the Alpha++ world city designation.
I don’t see any Islamic terror attacks in London during the year those stats are pulled from.
As for Paris the crime index is high “due to crime” is a tautology.
The point re: Paris is that most cities would look better when compared to Paris on safety.

As someone that's spent the last two decades living in both, it's a little bit of past glory. Miami is more ambitious, Lisbon is where smart international companies go. London still has great universities but they're lessened and capital goes elsewhere.
