Moving to FiDi in 2 weeks. How’s NYC these days from a safety standpoint, especially with less people likely out & about? A little nervous about all the crime on the Citizens app! Thoughts?

Crime rates remain very low. Don’t use Citizens app as a gauge - makes it seem like crime on every corner.

The app is based on 911 calls, not substantiated crimes. Back during the fireworks epidemic you’d get so many notifications of shots being fired you’d have thought we lived in an actual war zone.

Real question is why FiDi? It’s dead aside from Mon-Fri 9-5, but now is really dead all week.

Fidi is great have been living here for the last 5 years and wouldn’t live anywhere else. Love the fidi haters - usually the ones that haven’t even stepped a foot here. Fidi has a lot to offer and the luxury buildings are beautiful. DM me if you have any questions.

Be careful of fidi-there is an outstanding hearing to move a huge homeless shelter into fidi later this month. With the lack of business workers down there now due to COVID, fidi may look very different in a few weeks compared to how the people above are describing

C1 again you extrapolating here. The shelters we are talking about include a majority of mentally ill and convicted criminals. Please do some research on this before you post these absurd accusations

My family have lived on the western edge of FiDi (closer to BPC) for about 15 years. Overall I feel much safer here compared to other areas in NYC. Happy to answer questions on specific buildings, just DM me.

Quarantining indoors in NYC making you stir crazy? My lovely apartment with a large private terrace in a luxury building in New Rochelle is going to be available starting October. It’s well equipped for comfortable self isolation, and is an absolute steal at $2900 per month! It’s a 6 min walk to the New Rochelle train station, with very frequent trains that get you into midtown Manhattan in less than 30 minutes

I keep on reading stories about how Goldman Sachs analysts are working 80+ hour workweeks and making six figure salaries but are feeling burned out. I have a solution. Get 2x as many analysts to distribute the workload and cut their $150k salary in half. Seems like an easy fix, but I’m not sure everyone will be happy.
