| 1 | Seems weird that Wellington is there and Auckland isn't. Surely, it's safer than Cairo! Also, they consider the pandemic response. Really strange not to have Auckland there. Wellington did not feel safe at all with so many homeless on the streets and apparently, an incident involving the police happening every day in Aro Park. Anyway, here is the read, it has the PDF of all the cities for download. Very strange. https://safecities.economist.com/safe-cities-2021-whitepaper evoalg - 2021-08-31 23:15:00 |

| 14 | so, no beer and hookers and Welly, that's how it got on the list? evoalg - 2021-09-01 11:16:00 |
| 15 | given the per capita differences between auckland (1.6m) and cairo (9.5m), Cairo would need 7 or 8 times the amount of crime for auckland to be "on par" statistically. So things like the murdered police officer really skew results against a small population center. Edited by bitsnpieces2020 at 2:05 pm, Wed 1 Sep bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-09-01 14:04:00 |
