Realistic View of crime stats
-
10/28/2009
I've lived in Portland for 39 years and recently moved to Memphis. There is no way these statistics are accurate. The crime in Portland isn't the threat it is in places like Memphis where a walk to the park can end with a rape or assult. These stats seem useless the quality of life in Portland is so much better than Memphis in so many ways. Also, East St. Louis has basically the same crime stat as Portland??? GIVE ME A BREAK! Portland is a beautiful place to live and it may have its fare share of petty crime {bike thefts and car burglaries} but in no way is it "unsafe".
