Forewarned is forearmed
Yup! If you have to travel there bring TWO guns, plenty of ammo, wear body armor and bring lots of friends with guns.
I think whatever criteria they used to pick the cities had to be flawed if Detroit, MI & Newark, NJ didn't get on the list. Especially Detroit - if they ever wanted to give America an enema, that's where they would stick the tube! ROTFALMAO!

The statistics are for cities, while Los Angeles to most that live there is really more of a region beyond just the city with that name.
The majority of the crime of Los Angeles has been moving inland as a result of gentrification.
The lower income families that were ususaly associated with the majority of crime have been steadily moving away from the more expensive dowtown areas due to soaring real-estate prices for years (before the real estate bubble.)
As a result it is primarily the inland suburbs or Inland Empire that has gone way up in crime while the actual dowtown area has gone down in crime.
So statisticly Los Angeles has an improving crime rate out of proportion with actual reduction of crime.
The areas inland of Los Angeles have had skyrocketing crime rates though.
New York has similarly greatly reduced its crime through gentrification. The city simply got too expensive for more lower income segments of society to live there. Wealthy people are not ususaly responsible for robbing other people for small change in violent crime (They rob people for millions or billions through Wall Street and never commit a violent act.
)
As a result the city simply getting more expensive greatly reduces the crime rates. While those people who could no longer afford to live in New York City moved to nearby areas of New Jersey, or the Philladelphia area of PA. So thier crime rates go up, but New York City's officialy goes down.
For the same reason San Francisco has had low crime for quite some time, while neighboring Oakland has had high crime. Most violent criminals could not afford to live in San Francisco due to gentrification many years ago. Even though both places are politicly almost the same and just a bridge apart.
