...de Blasio, and Obama.

It is well known that Warren Wilhelm Jr. has a weakness for effeminate black homosexuals.

The whole admin these days has done this, yep. Like a small amount of tinder that has got the whole log burning.

You’re making sense.

Superficially it's a fair point, but that's only the increase in the reported number of assaults, and comparing ridership to criminal assaults based on crimes/rider is not really a valid statistical measure. It's equally valid to argue that the number of hours available for assaults to happen has not changed, and therefore the increase is significant.

It's clear that the number of murders has increased in East Brooklyn. Claiming that 30 additional murders in 2015 per 2.6 million is not a crime wave is silly -- almost as silly as de Blasio's claim that these are just drug dealers killing each other, so it really doesn't matter.

Finally, I would point out that the number of homeless people on the streets harassing passersby, pissing and sh!tting in the street and committing property crimes has clearly increased, and everyone knows it. I was accosted for spare change by a homeless man, naked from the waist down, on E 81st street last Thursday night around midnight. Until then, I had not even seen a homeless person on the Upper East side in about 10 years. Now, I don't live in the city anymore, but I'm probably in town 20-30 days a year visiting my kids, and other relatives and going to ballgames, and you can tell me that my anecdotes don't mean anything, but my people -- none of whom read The NY Post -- and do live in The City don't agree with you.

The quality of life in New York has clearly deteriorated during De Blasio's tenure. Go hang out down in Penn Station for a few hours if you want evidence of the change.
