[PRCo] Re: Crime in the Big Cities

[Jerry Matt Matsick]

Herb - Orlando's crime numbers come from the thousands of tourists that are reporting crimes  in to the authorities, no so much from the local's in Orlando, I guess that is true with most tourist destinations.
Also the "bigger" the Amusement Parks get the more lower paid
jobs and also undesirables are moving in, subsequently more
crime.

The  reason I posted this "crime" report was what you brought up about the T in Pittsburgh,    How safe are the stops
in the cities operating LRV service?
