Yeah try New Haven. The area around Yale is a fucking nightmare.
It's basically the same size as Fargo. Just a touch over 100,000, and it is one of the most dangerous cities in the US.
When I lived there there were body parts strewn across the city because someone hacked a homeless man apart and played hide and go seek with his body parts. Anytime, literally every freaking day, I sat by the windows there were gun shots. Someone was shot outside my apt at 4pm. (I was a 10 minute walk from Yale)
Fargo is very safe, and affordable. On top of this horrendous crime, a 1 bdrm in this shitty area that was much safer than adjacent areas of new haven was more than $1200/mo for a box built two hundred years ago that hadn't been kept up for 40 years.

I was in New Orleans in 1991 staying at a Howard Johnsons and as I was leaving one of the workers stopped me and had me wait for a 1/2 hour before going out. Someone was stabbed to death that morning and was still on the sidewalk. I had a few more incidents while in NO. I was happy to leave.
Fargo is still generally safe. Maybe not as over the top safe (like if you lose your wallet, people will bring it back with money in it) as it was 5 years ago, but I really never worry about stuff. I forget to lock my car and doors many times per week. Heck a few times I even fell asleep and forgot to close my garage door. I've never been a victim of an assault, burglary, or even vandalism.
it may be different if I lived in a different part of town though and I rarely go to bars or downtown.
I do know some people who have been victims though. i'm concerned with all the creepy people coming in. Doesn't seem like the best and brightest are coming here. Just loser gang people, drug dealers, and just overall shitty people.
