There's a difference between addressing policy and spreading fear.

Show me actual numbers (as I did for you).

Is going from 350 to 450 people in a city of 8 million ( 0.004% vs 0.005% chance of being harmed) really a reason to everyone to suddenly fear for their lives?? Or is it manipulation.

You keep arguing that your fear is justified. And I am telling you that is not based in reality. (Or math)

And you dodge the question again! Amazing! You honestly won't even acknowledge these policies. That's incredible. It's like talking to a wall or one of the robots from West World. "Doesn't look like anything to me!"

Per-rider subway crimes are up at least 50% and in some parts of the pandemic, double. Harassment and menacing are simply unreported en masse, and dozens of high profile crimes this year have been committed by mentally ill or drug addicted homeless people with dozens of prior arrests, which is totally preventable and totally unacceptable. And the best you can do is just hope that people stop calling you out on that to your face. You don't even have a response. It's laughable.
