I live in one of the top three most dangerous cities in New York State. I feel absolutely unsafe. There is so much violence and many criminal acts. My major concern is that city officials are aware of the amount of crime within the area but fail to do something that would invoke change. Law enforcement is rarely seen; so they are not regularly visible. This is not an area that I would want my child to live in.
