Reply to comment by Relevant_Slide_7234 in Why New York State Insists That the Penn Station Area Is ‘Blighted’ by mowotlarx

Earlier this year a homeless dude outside Penn Station followed me and said he was going to kill me because I took a picture of one of the skyscrapers under construction. If they're building 10 more skyscrapers now, yall stay alert for that guy

Adding to this story pile - it was a rainy day between Penn station and port authority and a homeless man punched through my umbrella, nabbing me on my right shoulder. I was shaken for an afternoon and figured nothing would come of it if I reported it since he was punching whatever was in his way all the way down the street.

Working in the area made me feel kind of depressed about NYC. I took a small detour one day and remembered the NYC I love wasn't the cradle of filth that is Penn Station.
