I've been to Berkeley

Never stated you did.

One poster said Knoxville has a high crime rate.

You responded with "No it doesn't".

Knoxville has a very high crime rate. Off all the cities in the great US of A, Knoxville is only safer than 2% of them.

And yet it's ranked #100/100....

 

[k-town_king]

No it doesn't.

Knoxville is in the 100 most dangerous cities.

 

[VolAllen]

Knoxville is in the 100 most dangerous cities.

Yes...at #100...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yes...at #100...

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement....

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It's in Nancy Pelosi's district if I am not mistaken. That means it is a socialist utopia. I lay over in San Fran quite a bit, and the homeless and taxes there are huge. Funny how that is....

Look for it to drop off that list completely with the new open carry law.

And yet it's ranked #100/100....

..ON A LIST OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES

C'mon man

Have you seen the homeless near UT? Those people under the bridge aren't camping for fun.

do we really have to explain this to you?

#100 doesnt exactly scare me. Knoxville is in last place!!!!!!!!!!! Stop acting like its Memphis!!!!!!!

San Fran isn't Berkeley. It's close yet, but still not the exact same. Yes San Fran did have a lot of homeless and honestly it wasn't as great as I had heard.

I'm not trying to scare you or compare Knoxville to Memphis.

Just passing along some facts on the high crime rate in K-town.

Old hippies never die, they fade away as professors at Berkeley.

Actually they move to Asheville.

Thought they were just selling tickets

The Peoples' Democratic Socialist Republic of Berkeley

there's a reason about 20% of the country lives in california....despite all of its problems.

A little different than those sleeping right in front of your hotel, but a fair point in one respect.

Yup. The weather is awesome. It has enough variety for a lot of people...

That doesn't change the fact that politically it is as ****ed up as Hogan's goat.

They were the reason that Heath Shuler was voted to the House of Representatives. He quit rather than lose after his district was redistricted.

oh, i agree.

but, all i can think of is how nice it must be that the 35% of the state that is red has decided to go ahead and stay there.

If I could afford it, I'd definitely move there. The weather trumps so much. Even the politics wouldn't keep me out, even though I'd disagree with so much.

Having said that, the first earthquake would probably have me running back East.

A classic case of gerrymandering.

I've been to Berkeley as well. My initials are carved on a table at the Bear's Lair to prove it.

Wait till he gets his tax bill for the honor of living out there in Hippy U.
