A classmate tell me philly is very dangerous,he said that the price of rooms in New York is very high,so the poor and dangerous people have to live in philly,which is next to New York.
I dont mean to judge philly.I just want to know the turth.  |
Every major city has violent crime, but it's more abundant here than in most places. I work two jobs, one in the restaurant business. An overwhelming number of people I know in that business have been victims of some sort, usually armed robbery or burglary. In short, Philly's reputation exists for a reason. That doesn't make it a bad city though. I like it here.
You just have to be careful. Being careful doesn't mean you're immune to victimization, but it will make it less likely.
