How long will you be here? Are you driving or flying? Come, visit everywhere, see it all! Most of the bad things you see on the news are isolated events. Do use some common sense, especially at night, and do a quick Internet search on higher crime areas of the cities you're visiting. If you see an area with hotels that are much cheaper than other areas, there's probably a reason. Many cities have lemmy communities or subs on r/ and can help you with specifics. People who tell you to avoid all red states are just spreading fear.
