“street vendors, understanding what the nature of the crime is, making sure we’re doing things in concert with them to help them make sure that their money is secure, not use money if at all possible”
One of the nice things in NYC is to be able to buy fruit off a street vendor.
And it is better quality than what you get at Gristedes? When my now wife lived on St Nicholas Ave in Harlem, there was a vendor who sold lots of tropical fruits from DR and beyond that we’re always delicious.
Doesn’t she realize that the existence of the street vendors is the problem. Get rid of them, then they and their ex-customers won’t exist to be mugged. “Close down all street vendors” should be her new campaign theme.
