  • This article really struck a chord with me. Maybe it’s confirmation bias, but I feel so much of the same things described here, and I do see NYC changing as it was told. I love NY for exactly the diverse and no-nonsense, hard-working attitudes that persisted here for decades. All of the color of life that makes NY so unique is rooted in the working class population… And they’re being squeezed out of every space, not just here, but everywhere.









  • I’ve never felt unsafe on the subway. Sure, I’m always looking around to be aware of my surroundings, but the only thing I see is people just trying to live, get from A to B, entertain, (have unexpected bodily functions), argue, and actually be good to each other. It’s actions like you would find in any other major city, but NYC has such density that people generally live and let live. The article is absolutely spot on and reinforced my experiences that perception is driving this frivolous law enforcement spending, not statistics.
