Chicago named among safest cities in the world. Honest.

for gun violence, this lakeside metropolis was just ranked one of the safest cities in the world.

The Economist Intelligence Unit, a London-based research firm affiliated with the Economist magazine, named Chicago to its 2017 Safe Cities Index, issued Thursday ‐ one of only three US cities to crack the top 20 ‐ largely based on advances in digital security.

The annual ranking assesses 60 global cities using four factors: personal safety, health security, digital security and the safety of infrastructure.

at 15th and Los Angles at 18th. Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka topped the overall list, an order that has remained unchanged since 2015. Buenos Aires was the only city in the so-called developing world in the top half of the index.

Chicago fared best in digital security, jumping 12 places in the rankings and following just Tokyo and Singapore. The report gave props to an initiative in cybersecurity training through local colleges and the Department of Defense that Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced in January.

Latin American cities performed poorly, with Buenos Aires 23rd and Rio de Janiero and São Paolo sharing 49th place. "Brazil is one of the top sites for cybercrime in the world," said Robert Muggah, co-founder of the Igarapé Institute, which participated in the report. "That has to do with the fact that internet banking came to Brazil quite early. So you have [a] sophisticated hacking community in Brazil."

#6  A Quid? We spent $33Trillion on these non-poverty fads and dis-armed them all. It is the Proto-Type democrat run City that has been in Democrat hands for a Century.

Show me one who can read a balance sheet and then you may look the gift-horse in the mouth no more.
