Bullshit. Crime statistics show NYC in 2023 had half a point less crime than 2022 and it's lower than pre pandemic levels. You're the one with fake news when stats don't care about your feelings. All the crime data your ilk show are in relation to pandemic levels of crime which will obviously be higher.

Transit crime, which this measure is attempting to quell, is most certainly up.

From Forbes.com:

13.1%. - Thats how much crime on the transit system has increased, as of March 3, compared to the same time period last year in New York City, according to NYPD data. There have been 388 incidents from Jan. 1 to March 3 this yearthe majority of which have been grand larceny and felony assaultcompared to 343 last year. The majority of last years crimes through early March were grand larceny and robbery, according to the data.

Will conservatives complain about this loss of freedom calling it a "Democrat state gestapo!!!!"

Or will they applaud right wing nut Eric Addams and his gestapo state tactics because this is what republicans actually want.

As Emma Vigeland says, this is part of the project to turn New York City into a nightclub for wealthy visitors while making it unlivable for the workers.

As stupid as it sounds, I am glad this is happening. NYC subways is a fucking crime den that is always being used by millions of people.

I get fucking anxiety riding the subways nowadays.

I have bad news for you. It'll still be a crime den.

It's almost like there is going to be more crime in the most densely populated and trafficked place in the entire country...
