No I live in the safest

And the safest? That would be Colonie, New York--for the second year in a row--according to the latest annual City Crime Rankings from CQ Press compiled by criminologist Rachel Boba of Florida Atlantic University. Colonie earned the lowest city crime rate ranking with only 61 incidences of violent crime in 2009, up from 54 in 2008. But even with that 13 percent increase, it still has the least amount of violent crime of all 400 cities included in the rankings.

Nope. I live in La Jolla, CA which I'm pretty sure it has to be one of the safest places to live
