Thanks. No wasn’t being sarcastic. I knew the area has a bad reputation from the past.
[Is there gentrification happening in Hell’s Kitchen?]
To paraphrase Mao: “Gentrification comes out of the barrel of a gun.”
The therapists will put the kids on psych drugs thus creating even more vagrants and raving lunatics.
Is this ridiculous “mother” going to wait until her little girl is raped and murdered by one of these fiends?
[It’s where the Edge observation deck is located.]
Is that anything like the observation deck over Jurassic Park?
That GIF had sound for me. Posting the YouTube link for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

At least mommy is intelligent and articulate. Unless she was flashing gang sign at the same time.
Actually I think he’d be more effective than most therapists.
Blue City Problems.
How’d ya vote, Katie? Cmon tell the truth.
Yes, moving is always an option. If she wanted to do good for her child. But these moms often choose their desires over the needs of their child.
A while back, one of my daughters moved to Salina, Kansas. Cheap homes, quiet living. While visiting her, my wife and I went to the downtown main street. Store vendors chatted up a storm with us, very friendly. As we only saw a few people on the street, we asked one clerk as to when is the busy time for shoppers. She said this is it. No homeless vagrants, no dope addicts, just peaceful living. Daughter was there for a couple years working online from her home, and part-time as a librarian. Walked her dog daily around the neighborhood in peace. She moved to Texas after that.
People should get out of NYC, a lot better places to live for your peace of mind.

Here's a picture I made last month looking at Billionaire's Row.
It's on the 100'th and 101'st floors of 30 Hudson Yards. The outdoor portion is the highest outdoor observation deck in NYC. It is by far the best observation deck in NYC. There is just an angled glass wall that goes from the floor to about 15 feet above the deck. There is a window that is part of the floor of the overhanging deck that has a direct view of the street below.

It is enrichment, my friend. Instead of driving the scum into the harbor, mom will teach here child how to tolerate the scum. Instead of teaching her children how to spread civilization out of the barrel of a gun, mom will medicate her children into acceptance and create another generation of scum.
Great view. Too high up to see anyone doing anything antisocial.
Found this cool picture.
There are some lovely blocks just to the west of the theatre district, brownstones, tall shady trees, etc. Very prime property.
Hudson Yards is a quite different story, huge beautiful new office buildings in the thirties for which the contracts were signed before the pandemic and had which had to go up anyway. Some now sitting empty and losing lots of money for the owners.
The Empire State building didn’t become profitable til after WWII.
Sometimes I think people in NYC think that the only way to live is wall to wall people. They don’t know how to live quietly. It’s kind of sad.
What that video shows in New York is nothing, NOTHING, compared to what inner city dwelling children see in California cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, just to name a few.
From an uptown apartment
To a knife on the A train
It’s not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse
To the rats in the basement
It’s not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no, it’s not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you’d like to
