Zero sympathy. 2 weeks ago in the primary they overwhelmingly elected AOC who is the biggest supporter of the invasion, so to hell with that city and I grew up there. My old neighborhood in Woodside looks like a town in El Salvador now. Last time I was there was around 5 years ago and they had signs under the 7 train on Roosevelt ave. warning women not to walk alone at night as they risk rape.
Same experience here. I attended PS78 & PS73 in late 50s, then Brooklyn Tech and Hunter College. Used to up regularly while Mom was still alive in the old house on 62nd Street. The changes were dramatic, you could see them from one month to the next. We sold the house when Mom died 10 years ago and now only go up to visit the family plot in St Johns in Middle Village. I loved growing up there but could not see raising a family there now.
Your reply pretty much nails it - they are getting exactly what they voted for.
