>big thing is having a working social security net that gives people opportunities when they're down.

Bruxelles, Amsterdam, Paris have welfare. And that attracts the wrong people. I wouldn't want to wander in many neighborhoods in those cities. Budapest, Warsaw, Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia, Prague are much safer.

> Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia

the problem in eastern europe isn’t violence. it’s cars.

the deaths/injuries in those specific countries from car accidents is greater than general deaths/injuries in western countries from any reason (violence, cars, etc).

Most of car related deaths or accidents are happening outside of cities.

You'll be most probably fine even in the sketchy neighborhoods in Sofia, e.g.

The car accidents problem is real, though ... there's the half-serous saying that accidents of this type are our form of mass-shootings.

It's not welfare that attracts people but the better economic prospects. No idea about Bruxelles and Amsterdam, but I work in Paris and it is quite safe.
