How safe is United States?
Minneapolis
Minneapolis is a nice city, just make sure to not visit lake street at night like past 2am. Otherwise the city is nice, it’s beautiful but a bit boring. Don’t trust Somali men who lure you in, most of time they want to have relationships with you and then leave you- Somali woman:

It can be very safe aside from certain people on the streets who are intoxicated or inebriated. Sometimes they can be harmful but not if you mind your business. Aside from this walking alone being alone has always felt completely fine to me.

It’s a new city, 20 minutes away from Oklahoma City. You’ll get basically all what you need here, everything is much safer and nicer. Having lived here in the neighborhood for about 3 years, I have no problem with the people or anything.

I thought Las Vegas is safe, because there's no much to see on the Citizen app. For women, we should know that citizen app shows many pedophiles in Las Vegas, so even if you're over 18/21, but look younger, you should be careful. The high risk of becoming a victim of human trafficking is worrying, so stay away of drugs, as men pretend to want to become your lovers, when in reality they are just gangsters who think women are stupidly weak in believing their "sweet" lies. Besides pedophiles, there were people killed around me and I was harassed and followed on the streets by Mexicans, which im suspecting are mafia Mexican cartel. My advice is that's not worth visiting Vegas, it's just a city with a street that has some fake me buildings similar to Europe and Egypt, some casinos were nobody wins money, and that's all. The rest is a pretty boring city, full with weird people, extremely hot 🔥, dessert weather.

San Francisco is generally safe. However, this can vary by neighborhood, and one can cross into different areas pretty quickly. There are some areas that are more dirty than unsafe per se, like the Tenderloin.

Red Wing is a relatively safe place. However there is a growing epidemic of laced drugs so I would not trust anything you buy other than just straight flower. There are neighborhoods i wouldn't recommend walking around in at night as there is a high chance that you could get either mugged or assaulted as a woman especially

In summer 2023, I traveled to the US with my brother : LA, Miami, and a road trip to Monument Valley, my favorite memory. Stunning landscapes and vibrant cities, but overall quite expensive. Still, an unforgettable trip. There is a lot of homeless to so at night you have to be careful.
