    Just one - Detroit but back them I was Straight Out Of Regent Park (a ghetto in Toronto Canada) so it wasn't very dangerous for me. Cheers!

  • I’ve been to D.C. twice. I didn’t know it was one of the top dangerous though:) I just saw it mentioned in other answers.

  • My son lived in DC for a few years.  I don't remember him saying he felt unsafe there.

  • Both times I went I stayed with family friends who live and work there. We walked everywhere there,  both night and day and I never felt unsafe.

  • Exactly ... you do walk everywhere in DC.  It's almost like a small town atmosphere with all the little neighborhoods.

  • It’s lovely there. They also have all these bikes you can rent and drop off and pick up spots all over the city. I was especially excited when I found out all the museums free! I can’t wait to get back there again. I don’t think this is a great time to go though lol.

  • If they have another shutdown .. it won't be fun!  Normally, we just walk around for hours and hours .. so much to see and do.  Riding a bike would be great.  My daughter in law works for the Government now .. so she's down there all the time.  She's a great tour guide.  You should check out the National Zoo, if you haven't ... or the Spy Museum.  I could go on and on .. but I'll spare you.  :)

  • I never made it to the zoo:) I am hoping to go there for a couple days this late spring. Hopefully the shutdown will be over by then for you:/ If I do go I’ll look for you for suggestions places to visit :)

  • I've been to Houston, Philadelphia, DC, Miami, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Milwaukee, St. Louis.   But any big city has its dangerous areas.

  • If you are referring to the list of 20, #8 - Stockton, and #3 - Oakland are mine.

    I've been to Philly, D.C., Nashville, Buffalo and Baltimore.  Please note that New York City, which everyone thinks is completely crime-ridden, isn't even in the top 20.  Thank you.

    Don't know what they are...
    Tijuana?, Juarez?...been there done that
    Afghanistan?...been there done that.
    Throw in Turkey, Iraq, Iran
    have seen a few but
    not the worst.
         Never been to that place where
    the kids ride by on a motorbike
    and grab everything you are carrying,
    and where roaming gangs
    will do you in...
    but have seen enough of big city violence.

    About seven of them. Apparently I also live in one (or at least in a suburb a couple of blocks from the city limit) and didn't even know it.

    Using this list I've been in three of the top 20 just briefly, like driving through.

  • I've been to Richmond, CA and Oakland, CA, both of which make various lists of dangerous cities. Oakland has its nice parts, though. It's the BART stations that freaked me out. People get robbed and stabbed there.

    i never been to usa, but i think usa is more dangerous than canada, notably because the usa gun laws allows citizens to buy guns and own guns, and here in canada, its very limited to what you can own.
