   Interesting list.  Looks like I've been to 20% of the listings which   
   rank higher than the USA's safest city of Salt Lake City in 96th place,   
   as well as many others .. 64 of the total 300 list = 21%.   
      
   Naturally, someone will try to tell me that Faux told them that   
   everything's actually horrible everywhere, so stay locked up terrified   
   in yon white picket fence suburban home & buy Trump sneakers, et al.

   Its the classical "make great again" propaganda, because by not   
   articulating when this past greatness was, it avoids being fact-checked.
