- reaperducer 5y agoI lived in NYC post covid. Trust me, it's no Disneyland. I lived in NYC in the 70's. Trust me, comparatively, even post-COVID, NYC is still Disneyland.

- dogman144 5y agoNot great but not bad. Definitely elevated risks downtown past midnight in areas that used to very safe despite looking grungy, the anti-Asian hate crimes are awful to watch, def saw crack smoked on a subway platform under a jacket once or four times, and Harolds Square/Penn Station is.. not great. However, staying vigilant in the key subway stations on the around midtown seems to cover most of the feelings of risk. editing - hopefully not coming off as dismissive of the legit very concerning crimes that have happened. It feels like the bad stuff that deviates from the norm is really bad vs crime in similar contexts/places in the 2010s, but beyond that never felt unsafe but perhaps a higher requirement for street smarts that didn't feel as important in 2010s NYC Disneyland for wealthy folks.
