Actually, the tone of the post was meant to be mainly ironic, since I haven't tried to live in Richmond yet. Thank you a lot for your clarification.

I saw your post about Richmond. I wanted to comment on our high murder rate. What is going on here is that the downtown area is a different metro area than the surrounding suburbs. Most American cities have annexed their suburbs which dilutes their crime statistics a lot. If you compare Richmond to Charlotte, North Carolina, which did annex its suburbs, and if you include the suburban counties in your definition of Richmond, you will see that we are nearly identical to Charlotte. The same is true of Washington, DC, which appears to have a very high murder rate per capita because it only counts the number of murders that happen within the District of Columbia. Hi there.
