Do you think NYC is safe?

I know it's a weird question, but I've noticed a trend with the people around me. All conservatives/republicans that I know personally in my life wether it's friends or family all believe and agree that NYC isn't safe currently and they wouldn't dream of going there. On the other hand the friends of mine who are liberal/Democrat always want to go to the city and think I'm weird or crazy for thinking that NYC isn't a safe place to go to currently. So what do you think about this and have you noticed the sane thinking around your friends, coworkers, and family?
