Re crime, the parenthetical in my OP was my sloppy attempt to clarify it’s the most dangerous it’s been while I have lived here (18 years). Re where I get the attitude, our mayor and local representatives (like AOC) have both said this. There’ve been numerous marches down 6th Ave and the West Side Highway as well.

> it’s the most dangerous it’s been while I have lived here (18 years) It's not, though. Do you have any data to back it up? All cause mortality has been very steady (with the exception of Sept 11 and Covid)[1]. Murders are near an all-time low[2] and are at nearly half of what they were when you moved to NYC. Felonies are lower, muggings are lower, everything is lower. So what does "dangerous" mean to you and where can we see something to back up the idea that the entire city is more dangerous? 1. https://twitter.com/joe_pickrell/status/1248721149233713153/photo/1 https://twitter.com/joe_pickrell/status/1248721149233713153/... 2. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/NYC_murders2.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/NYC_murd...
