Just three weeks before NYU’s newest class moves into the area, a group of junkies and crackheads has turned a leafy pathway in Washington Square Park into an open-air drug den — and the NYPD is doing nothing about it.

As many as 20 strung-out vagrants have taken over several benches in the park’s northwest corner, where they openly consume hard drugs just steps from the children’s playground, outraged neighbors said.

De Blasio pissing away 2 decades of progress. I wonder when the rich limousine liberals who pay big money to live in places like Greenwich Village where Washington Square Park will say enough is enough.

It’s just returning to what it was like before Giuliani, or perhaps a little worse, for that corner of the park.

Guiliani was around to fix all of the things Dinkins broke. Not clear who’s going to come in and clean up the mess DiBlasio and Bloomberg have made.

He allowed a woman to get killed the other day, she was jogging by an area where a bunch of these bums hang out and she was raped and strangled to death and I bet he still won’t do anything about it.

I attended NYU back in the 80’s. My first day of class I got out of the 4th Street station (the ‘A’ train) and walked up the street toward the school. As I got to the park I noticed the police had several squad cars parked along the walk lanes that cut through the park and they were pulling a white sheet over a dead body.

I immediately thought to myself, “tough school.”

Such a hater. Apparently didn’t get Kaiser Bill’s memo; Crack Lives Matter.
