>autistically love light rail systems

So I just don't get to ride trains, huh?

There is no American city with light rail and low crime?

Light rail is a tourist thing so if you go to kcmo you can ride our toy train from the 3rd street farmers market past the tmobile arena, through the crossroads hipster area, into Hallmarks Crown center and terminating at the Union Station historic station.

The crime is in black residential areas and the toy train is free have fun

I only ride the light rail in the morning or afternoon on weekdays. That's when regular people are riding it to commute to work and it's much safer. Any other day or time it's filled with certain types of people that listen to rap music and smoke cigarettes and sell drugs. It's a shame, if more average people were willing to use the light rail more often there would be safety in numbers. I liked the subway in nyc for this reason..

I'm not American but it really is that bad there. The USA has as much violence as developing nations in South America and Africa have. Tens of thousands of people are murdered every single year. Robbery is rampant whether it's people walking into a store stealing everything they want and nobody stopping them or some junkie knocking you out to steal your phone and wallet. Rape and sexual assaults happen so much they don't even have reliable statistics for it. There are entire shantytowns all over every single city and town regardless of whether it leans Republican or Democrat.

It's a failed state.

Property crime is negligable. It's easy to not be a victim of that. But I tell ya, violent crime is a different beast. I saw a man get shot to death in Louisville he was just walking his dog.

Having a light rail actually reduces crime. Light rail connections raise property values and are good for local businesses.

Yeah in the best case scenario on paper it does, but you have to actually entice people to ride it otherwise it'll be exclusively swamped with the lowest common denominator of society including the homeless/mentally ill/criminals/drug addicts etc who ride out of necessity. Nobody who has money to spend will put up with that. They will willingly sit in traffic twice as long to avoid people like this. It has to be cheaper, safer, cleaner AND more convenient than driving for it to have any real benefit to a city.
