I had a hard time understanding the American conception of unsafe city until I ran the numbers and found that in the 80s Belfast (with troops shooting people in the street and bombs going off) was still less lethal than Detroit. (Population adjusted)

It still baffles me how little was done about this in the US and how it was regarded as a local only problem.

Well yeah, even during the worst of the troubles it wasn't like there was a drug war going on.
