Agreed. Kids need a safe place to run around, ride bikes, and play street hockey. They shouldn't have to worry about stray bullets or homeless drug addicts when they're walking home from school.

Hush. I love stuff like this to send to my mother in law who's still horrified we live in the city. Her attitude is "cities are a tolerated evil for poor people, but why would one choose to live in one?". This from a woman who recycles and composts obsessively, but lives alone in a 4000 sq ft house.

My favorite thing to tell her is her grandchildren have a far lower chance of dying here than in the burbs, since they won't ever drive anywhere as teens. Rural and suburban kids die all the time from drunk or just stupid driving, at a far higher rate than any urban violence can achieve.

Did anyone else see this article on MSNBC? For what it is worth, Jersey City ranks in at #13.
