Sure, but "60% of New Yorkers break the law to make a living wage" isn't any less scathing. Either way, the situation looks pretty bleak. At this point, I can't see a future where NYC doesn't become the next Detroit.
- atyppo 4y agoI don't think you know much about how Detroit collapsed if you're saying that. While crime and public safety have become issues, I think most of the blame can be assigned to police too lazy to do their jobs.
