Park Avenue. No homelessness and the only crime is committed by banking execs sitting behind their desks.
This kind of stuff has been rampant on the Upper East Side. It’s happening daily now, especially in broad daylight. It’s like nobody is even afraid of being caught!
Sounds like we need to get more democrats in nyc political positions to help clean up, turnaround the city, and solve all our problems! Go out and vote today vote early!
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the GOP gave up on any message besides “democrats are evil” about 4 years ago. Because the right solution is whatever solution that as an “R” next to it.
Lets ignore the 12% unemployment rate and people having to steal to survive. The problem is democrats.
Why is it that every democrat run city turns to crime and poverty? I thought socialism worked?!
Cringe
What do you expect when they abolished cash bail, reduced prison population and partially defunded the police. The only logical response to these actions is for violent crime to spike. I just cannot wrap my head around how these politicians think..
That’s dickblasio for you!
I like in downtown Manhattan and it’s literally just fine down here. Media is pushing this narrative that NYC is turning into a lawless, overrun by homeless dystopia and it’s just not true at all.
But keep pushing it I’m trying to get one hell of a deal on an apartment this summer
It’s absolutely true. If anything the media is ignoring what’s going on here and only the micro local newspapers and the New York post are exposing what’s really going on. Downtown Manhattan does not have a lot of crime right now and seems much safer than uptown so you are relatively safe and probably don’t see what’s going on. Up here all of the banks and local pharmacies are getting robbed at gunpoint. People are getting assaulted and robbed at gunpoint every single day on the upper east side. People have been bringing weapons on the subway up here. Stay as far downtown as possible and if your office reopens and you plan to go back in, try to live within walking distance of your office
People are starving and broke. Don't know what to tell you but we had a ton of pandemic-induced economic problems that were met with zero tangible solutions. It's an abdication of leadership from the very top all the way down to the local level. Our White House this year would make Louis XVI blush.
Genuine question, what does "doing better" look like? The problems with backed rent, unemployment, economic malaise, limited hospital beds, etc. are distributed nationally. More concentrated in areas with higher concentration of people, but that's just math. So these areas that are "doing better" what characteristics do they share in common with the areas that aren't doing as well? Is it one-for-one with population density, average income, cost of living, etc? Or, are there differences, however subtle, that may allow these other areas to be a little more relaxed and not deal with the serious ramifications of a weakened national response? And if there's not a one-size-fits-all solution then clearly local leaders do deserve blame for not tailoring responses at a granular level. But they were largely left to fend for themselves so instead of operating from a point of national strength brought down by the federal government they all were playing catch-up from the beginning. One thing I learned in management classes is without a top-down vision and plan the organization crumbles, and that's what I've observed happening in the US for most of 2020.
