I'm living in downtown Toronto, and I think I should expand upon what Pookeysgirl is talking about... Now I'm not sure which neighbourhood she grew up in, but about 12 or 13 years ago the province combined five cities, one borough, and the regional level into one big (mega-?) city of 2.5 million people. That big city now has roughly 60 murders per year, and the general crime rate has been going down for the last decade or so. It's pretty safe, if not quite so much as the outer suburban areas.
