Ciudad Juárez starting to look like a nice place...
I will be sure to stay out of the Big Apple
11,000?....
That’s just the staff at the NY Times....
The only thing I miss about NY is the pizza and when we were kids, Rockefeller Center at XMAS, other then that it’s a POS city.
Read the caption and thought the Democrats were having another convention!
Weiner, Schumer, Nadler, Cuomo, Brown, Fineswine, Boxershorts etc all need 220v shock therapy. Actually, 500mW laser therapy would be far better.
“Homeless” is not the problem in itself .. The latest nutcase was living with her family, who was trying desperately to get her permanently or long-term hospitalized. The woman was bipolar, would flip out, and they or the police would bring her to the hospital - where, as one family member said, the doctors would give her a couple of pills and send her out again.
This article makes it sound as if only the homeless are being untreated, but that’s not true. It’s simply impossible to get someone committed until they have succeeded in killing some innocent person.
...seems like a good reason to shut down the subway system...far too dangerous...

So, where did you move to?

Sorry people, I LOVE that city. Their violent crime rate is lower than many states, much lower than Houston, and almost as low as Texas overall.
And I agree with the other guy - THE PIZZA IS GREAT!!!
I am inthe 4 train all the time and this article barely scratches the surface. Many many many crazies in the subways lately.
I grew up in New York City, and rode the subways until I finally escaped the city at 18. You learn to never, never, NEVER stand near the edge of the platform as a train nears a crowded station. You also develop the instinct to look behind you as the train enters the station, regardless of the number of people on the platform (I still practice this in every train station I’m in, even though I no longer live in NYC).
Of course, as a native New Yorker, it’s ingrained in you since late childhood to never be unaware of your surroundings. I’ve been away from there for over 30 years now and still practice that.
Wait, wasn’t there a movie called 10,000 Maniacs!?
And you never look anyone in the eyes.
“Nice little city ya got here, Bloomberg. It would be a shame if a bunch of loonies was ta ruin it. Me and the boys can fix this little problem for youse for the mere sum of $xzz billion.”
I love NYC! Some of the greatest restaruants in the world. Some of the greatest, most tolerant people in the world. Fashion center of the world. Art center of the world. Financial center of the world (at least for the next week or so)
I don’t understand all the haters.....some folks like to live in the weeds, and others like to live in the greatest city in the world.
Its all good.
NYC hazards alert...
Absolutely. Anyone wonder where the expression "Hey! You lookin' at me?" come from?
