An aspiring rapper?

Actually, the word is "expiring", or, in this case, "expired".

Actually it wasn’t in the inner city..Briarwood is just a few blocks up Queens Blvd. from Forest Hills, a pretty affluent area.

There are certain parts of inner cities, nobody should drive expensive autos and night.

Briarwood Queens has never been inner city. In fact most of the old inner city neighborhoods have become gentrified.

That said, it seems like crime in all areas of DeBlasio's NYC is starting to increase.

Perhaps he's just pining for the fjords.

Just a thought not really related to the article. Police will be less likely to protect the public because they will be afraid to act.
