I have never witnessed a shooting or gang fight or drug dealing here. Although I'm told it goes on in Toronto all the time, I have never witnessed it. Even when I spend nights at a hotel for work and we are walking the streets at night returning from dinner or an outing late at night..
Now, not picking on the state of NY, but every time I'm there (Buffalo and general area) for my cheap goods shopping trip, I always seem to see something bad going on. Car chases, drug dealing etc.
Is it really that much worse over there? (Asking honestly)
