In 2005, the homicide rate in Minneapolis was 12.5 per 100,000 residents. In 2024, it’s 10 per 100,000. Even though crime has been worse in Minneapolis lately (contrary to the broader national trend) it’s still better than the 2000s.

The term "Murderapolis" emerged as a result of a period of heightened violence in Minneapolis during the 1990s, with the nickname highlighting the city's struggle with rising murder rates. For example, in 1996, the city saw a notable increase in homicides, leading to the creation of the nickname.

Guess he was still in diapers in the 80s….. “In summary, while there have been some recent upticks in certain types of crime, overall crime rates in the US are significantly lower now than they were in the 1980s.”

He sounds like the fucking boomers from the outter 'burbs. He doesn't know Minneapolis, he's barely been to Minneapolis and he sure as fuck doesn't live there. Fuck off back to the Reichstad, Miller.

Public parks in LA used to be full of members of the community joyfully spending time with their families. Now they are empty because of PeeWee Germans terrorist squads.

My kids keep telling me that Seattle is dangerous and I am like "I can walk around downtown late at night by myself and not worry about being mugged. I could not do that in the 90's. No one could do that in the 90,s"

I’m 60 and walk the downtown Seattle streets all times of day and night. The biggest threat is tech-bros riding their scooters on the sidewalk.

Seriously. Reminds me when I moved to Calgary in 2016 and people were saying that I was living in a rough area. I grew up in Oakland in the 90s. By comparison, any American city looks fine today.

back in the 90s there were so many muggings we all had to become muggers too, it was the only way to arrive home with a wallet. After enough muggings, sometimes you'd end up back with your original wallet.

Sorry but I wandered around at night all the time in the 90s. Yes, crime was worse, mostly in the sense that having an expensive car stereo was pointless Clubs and bars, you know, existed, right? If nobody could walk around, nobody was going out at night at all. In the Pentium I era? They went out

There are parts of Minneapolis I won’t go, but the flooding of Republican guns (ie guns anywhere and everywhere) has created an atmosphere where arguments want to be resolved with guns. But in general, Minneapolis is a safe city and I’m often downtown and use the parks.

Worth noting too that Saint Paul, which became a minority-majority city during the past 20 years, has seen homicide rates fall and currently sit below the national average for major cities:
