I used to live in;
Brooklyn which is in New York City
NYC which is in New York State
NY which is in the USA.

If someone ask me if USA safe what my answer could be?
Yes, America is safe.
No, New York City is not safe.
Yes, New York State is safe.
No, Brooklyn is not safe.

I used to have 4 locks on my door.
Now 1 in San Pedro
I used to pay a fortune to "thief insurance" for all our stuff
Now I do not have any.
We were picky when we go out because you have a big chance to get a problem in the bar or on the subway station
Now we enjoy every place in the island.
I used to carry a bat in my car.
Now I carry nothing but Beliken on my boat
It goes and goes

A lot of people from modern world are leaving in the island.
They have brought their all savings and hopes to this place. Some of them are in the business, some of them just enjoying the island life. So if you ask this forum members "if it is safe" and somebody says "no" it would be just ironic. If an outsider says no, it would be just funny.
