My own personal experience , 90 percent of my adult acquaintances have been robbed on gunpoint. I had gun pointed at me in one robbery. My sister and her husband got robbed two times in their own home. I was cheated by people who pretended to be honest , religious , belonged to very religious families.
I was born in Lahore lived and spent some of my childhood in Lahore and then my family moved to Karachi and spent rest of my childhood , youth and some of my adulthood there.
From crime perspective rest of the country seems to be better than Karachi at the moment.

I did read one of your detailed posts on the experiences you’ve had in Karachi, yet always wondered what area you’ve lived in.

Karachi does get most of its crime boost from mainly the Iqbal, tariqroad, jauhar side Or rather the whole of Karachi except a couple of places like Clifton, Defence, Bathisland, KDA and a few more that I cant think of atm areas. To me, my family or the people we know, Karachi has always been the 1st preferred and safest option. I could however relate to where you may be coming from, and hence keeping that in mind, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi are all quiet safe compared to Karachi.
