Review of Binghamton, New York


Getting worse every year
Star Rating - 9/17/2014
The crime in the Binghamton area is really starting to get out of hand. What was a safer than average city in NY (lower crime than the state and national average) just 10 years ago, and even more so 20 years ago is now much higher than both the state and national crime rates now that is has become an end stop for the Brooklyn drug trade. The drug dealers are usually not the ones you have to worry about, unless your rent and they move in to your building. But their customers will do anything to get the money for their next fix. So they will mug you, or break into your home or apartment, whether you are home or not.
