Couldn’t have happened to a nicer city. I grew up there and left around 10 years ago. I could care less, raze it to the ground. “Greatest city on earth”? Like hell it is. Now it’s the “Asshole capital of the world” and it’s mostly due to out of state rich liberals who started infesting it back in the late 1980s. These are the ones you see at BLM riots, their kids are in Antifa, they support Marxism 100% and they pronounce “Horrible” as “Whore-able”
I also grew up in Queens, NY in the 1940s and early 50s. I lived in a pleasant neighborhood and left at 10 years old. Was a great city then with the Dodgers in Brooklyn, the Giants at the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan and the Yankees in the Bronx. I walked to school safely I might ad. Played stick ball in the street and never heard of crime. I haven't been back since and wouldn't consider it.
