3. you were better off in NY

and not by a small amount.

I can't quote the link as the table's format won't translate.

But NYC has less total crime, about half the murder rate, under a third of the rape rate, a slightly higher robbery rate, a considerably lower rate of aggravated assault, less than half the rate of property crime, less than a fifth of the rate of burglary , and no surprise a much lower rate of auto theft (but they should since they have way fewer cars per capita). By pretty much any measure you became much, much less safe by moving to Phoenix.
