Residents of New York City's Upper West Side have complained that by housing hundreds of homeless people in three hotels during the coronavirus crisis, the area has become dangerous.
They say that the area has now become a spectacle of drug taking, public urination and cat calling, and have called on city Mayor Bill de Blasio to take action.
'It doesn't feel safe anymore,' nanny Michele McDowall, 39, said to the The New York Post, telling the website that she was recently offered crack by a pair of homeless men as she pushed a toddler past Riverside Park at 79th Street.

1970s NYC was such a wonderful place and time they’ve decided to do it all over again.

NYC is a lot like some countries in South America. They get really bad and someone gets elected and fixes things. They then go back to their old ways and things get bad again. It’s and endless loop.

These must have been the young chic new-comers, who never experienced NYC since the 70s, three consecutive Dem mayors until they got fed up and had the “broken windows theory” Rudy Giuliani and fake Bloomberg (who is now back to be a Democrat).
Well, now enjoy the result of your own choices.

I have an uber-liberal cousine who lives there. She's actually nice, despite her political inclinations. More passively and unthinkingly liberal.

Puppies are smarted then liberals. At least a puppy can learn and become housebroken. Liberals never seem to learn so let them live in their filth they created (by voting for Democrats)
Democrats have learned it is easier to steal public funds during a time of chaos then it is during times of peace and prosperity.

They are even worse that. They did not vote for this. They voted for the junkies and derelicts to go to other parts of the city bit not where they live. Liberalism for you but not for me. Those upper west sliders are getting just what they deserve.

If you are referring to the Governor’s mansion that would involve going to Albany and no resident of the Upper West Side would dare enter Albany unless it is some scheme to screw the taxpayer.

I wonder if Wilhelm is doing what is called the Curley Effect after long time Boston mayor James Curley. Curley drove out the WASP Boston Brahmas to be replaced by supplicant poor Irish.
