I have lived here all my life.
Yes, the 70s and 80s were worse.
But the great gains made from 1993 to 2012 have been lost.
We are going in the wrong direction.
100%.
Anyone with eyes can see that.
Just walk around on 9th ave and you can see that.
Philly same thing. I was there on Easter weekend.
Not a cop to be seen.
Homeless bums everywhere, doing whatever they please.
It's time to reel this crap in. Hard.
BTW, your avatar. One of the Hanson brothers?

Totally agree. I'm a bit too young to remember the '70's but I remember the '80's well. Yes, things were worse then, but they cleaned up the city. Now it's turning into a shit hole again. Just watch the news. 3 people were shot in broad daylight in Times Square just the other day and that's not the only daytime shooting in midtown in the past few months. Practically every day you hear about an attack in the subway, mostly in daytime in what were considered good neighborhoods. I'm not rushing back into the city anytime soon.
"Refund" to what, choke people out in their own neighborhood? Shoot them 40 something times because they mistook a wallet for gun? Sexually assault them in the precinct? Shoot them the night before their wedding? Call for 12 officers to hold down a single compliant person without explaining what they're being detained for? Videogame punch a teenager on a subway platform?
These aren't problems that necessitate a militarized state force. The police haven't actually been defunded, at least not in the way proponents want and the way cop apologists think had happened, and some of the people on the streets were released from jail or shelters due to Covid concerns, not anything to do with the movement against police abuse.
The police are a convenient broom and dustpan for difficult societal issues and I question anyone participating in this patently illegal lifestyle cosigning their empowerment

Which is my point. Frame of reference. If you see the city as a “scary” place now and think 9th Ave seems edgy than you didn’t walk down 9th Ave prior to 1995. Uptick in crime? Sure, look at what we went through the past year. Is the world in general experiencing that same trend this past year? I’ve read a number of articles expressing that same phenomenon across the country in small to rural cities And towns. Crap, boring places I would slit my throat if I was sentenced to live. Frankly I hope all the people coming here to live out their “Friend's” or “Sex in the city” dream do stay away and never return.
Yeah, Hanson brother just not a “mmm bop” Hanson brother

Here’s two articles that touch upon small town despair. I’m not a volunteer internet researcher, so I’ll give you this tip.. “google.com” works wonders finding info.

In 1981 a guy hits someone over the head with a hammer you get a bloody interview of the victim by Kaity Tong (which gets you horny), a shitty drawing of the perp who never gets caught and people shrug their shoulders. 2021 a woman gets hit over the head with a hammer, you get an interview with Kaity Tong (which still gets you horny), a CCT clip of the Perp who gets caught the next day and people say the sky is falling.

Given your mention of 9th ave I will guess you are referring to my comment.
I used to hang out at the Triple Treat theater on 8th & 42 till all hours. Saw lots of famous porn girls there.
I used to pick up streetwalkers after 4 AM on 11th Ave back in the 80s and take them to the Liberty Inn, and sometimes the Evans or the Ivanhoe.
I'd pick them up on Park Ave too and take them to a crappy hotel on 34th near 3rd. Don't remember the name.
So yeah, I walked around plenty in shitty areas late at night prior to 1995.
I never used the word "scary". I did use the word "crap" implying "crappy".
I prefer the NYC from 93 to 2012. It's crappier here now.
When they ran the hookers off the street in Manhattan, it forced me start using brothels, agencies and AMPs.
