Santa Ana named 4th safest U.S. city, by Forbes

• I should add that having Vern Nelson loitering at 17th and Ross close to midnight, doing who knows what, indicates high presence of the riffraff in Santa Ana.

• SF- I guess if you make the assumption that all of the kids in the class are "moron mongoloids" then you are right...hopefully my kids don't go to the same school as the kids in your example. I don't really see how that relates to the Forbes sample which the article pretty clearly states their sample which is all city with a population above 250K and does not indicate only those cities with low income, low ppty values, etc... I disagree with your example, but not with your conclusion.

  I cannot imagine that SA is the 4th safest city above 250K people in most of our neighbors perception. The problem with the Forbes ranking IMO is that it only focuses on "violent crimes" which only includes murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault and also traffic fatalities. I believe that robbery would only include thefts where the victim is present (i.e. not a vacant house break in or a car theft), but that is where I am not positive. There is no consideration by Forbes for car break ins, petty theft, panhandling aggravation, breaking and entering, etc... I don't feel that I am gong to get shot, raped, or robbed at gunpoint, but there definitely are times that I feel like my house or car will get broken into.

• There is only one indicator which determines whether or not the city is safe; and once again it is a supply and demand which equals price of the property.

  The price of property is directly proportional to the crime of any kind.

  The people tend to gravitate to safe place to live which creates demand and with a demand the supply goes down and the price go up in which case more affluent people will occupy such places.

  As to statistics, it is always an issue, is the glass half empty or half full, and what is the substance in the glass.

  So you can play with it anyway you want but it will never bring property value up as the only indicator of the safety.

  You can see this phenomenon when relatively valuable property are in the hands of the gangs in which case high security gated communities are establish which increases price in surrounding areas forcing riffraff out via gentrification.

  Santa Ana is not bad place but it will never be a city where you want to go for a vacation with your family as long as Magnificent Seven Latinos are running the show.

• F**k all you haters I lived in Santa Ana for 13 years. It was the best years of my life every where you go it's chill and safe stop hating and visit the 4th safety city in USA

• "stop hating and visit the 4th safety city in USA"...... Hmmmmm

  How about to visit 1st two safest cities in the world Sodom and Gomorrah at least they have the Red Light District so the Cities Council Members do not have to bang coworkers on the conference table?

  Yes I like that!

• Will a real Jewish Minister of the anti-Latino Propaganda stand up?....

  Here!

• Note to all: yes, I have begun to pay Fiala to publicize my writing, as evident above, and I don't care who knows it. I pay him in doggie biscuits. He stands up on his hind legs and everything?

  P.S. For any of Stanley's readers who do not yet know that I am Jewish: I am Jewish. Stanley takes publicizing this very seriously, even when I threaten to withhold biscuits.

• Dear Blog Readers,

  We hate Santa Ana!

  Sincerely,

  Dan, Chris and "Pork Chop"

• "P.S. For any of Stanley’s readers who do not yet know that I am Jewish: I am Jewish"....... Hmmmmm

  That was the first sentence published by Diamond here: "I am Jewish!"

  Why?

  So he can cal everyone who pose him -- anti-Semitic.

  Otherwise who cares?

  To me he is just another lefty-moron-mongoloid-bolshevik-hater.

• The first thing I encountered when doing a pertinent search of OJB archives:

  Stanley: "It will take minimum 20 years to recover from the Obama’s black magic."

  Me: “Stop saying “Obama’s black magic.”

  Stanley: Stop limiting my constitutionally speech. (you Zionist)

  There's plenty more where that came from. I'm not the one who raises it.

  By the way, I recall seeing no sign that Art, cook, junior, KLND, or others who often oppose me are anti-Semitic. I literally haven't run into anyone "old school" like you since high school.
