Flair "New Jersey"

Nah fuck the bronx

I'm glad people don't know where it is, leave it alone.

Stop posting about Jackson heights everyone. Nyc is only Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I find absolutely revolting and spineless how many people here are now saying that this is a problem, when just a few months ago the same people doubled down on their sanctuary city, kumbaya bullshit and anyone who disagreed with them was a racist and bigot. As a NYer, we deserve to eat shit right now because most of us saw no issue with migrants even though we were warned.

Before. But the reason they leave is not to be amongst themselves, it's because they can't afford it. That's the whole argument, displacement.

It's not because they move voluntarily, it's because the cost of everything has gone up.

Was never exposed to those American sports growing up. The TV shows thing I kind of get but it's different interacting with the culture vs seeing it on television. I don't think there's two people that are the same in this thing, depends on how deep in your enclave you are.

This is me. No white people until college and working in an office. As a result, I know nothing about their interests and even if I do, I'm not interested. Makes for very awkward water cooler conversations.

This was me. I had to learn white people culture when I started college in Manhattan. In my neighborhood you literally don't see white people unless they're sightseeing or traveling to a sporting event.

When poor people move you merely displace crime, you don't fix it. It's no wonder that more buying power brings more amenities.

The ones that got cheated were the ones that didn't leave during white flight, including African Americans.

Bro all I want is a service that gets there on time and is clean. I don't give a fuck about monitor displays, wifi and all the bullshit. Who comes up with the budget for these?

Put bail back on the table. That way criminals stay in prison, we have too many repeat offenders walking the streets.

More undercover cops and more cops in general. We need to make it more palatable for people to become cops, which means financial incentives among other things. In the 90s, the police force grew by about 35 percent for example.

If you look at the graph of NYC crime over time, it went down at around the same time as stop and frisk. The studies on whether or not it was effective are mixed, but if the combining factors that brought us out of the 90s worked, I don't see why we can't bring stop and frisk back.

New York needs to bring more jobs and prosperity. An exodus of people and companies in the name of work from home, safety and lower cost of living is a recipe for capital flight which will exacerbate our problems.

We need to stop this woke idea that criminals are just poor people or marginalized. Criminals are criminals, period, and need to be arrested and prosecuted as such. None of this slap on the wrist and you can go home nonsense.

Too late

I'm a nyer. Crime is up year to year. That is the fact. It doesn't matter if it's lower than somewhere else, the only city I care about is here and it's obviously gotten worse.

Nah I'm good. That borough is cursed, that's why it's cheap.

It's amazing the amount of people that complain about crime and keep voting for the same useless candidates.

"My guess"

Yes they were so grateful to be in Chile and other countries that they formed gangs to kill and rob people.

And which native tribe are you from? The difference is my people came on their own will and with professional careers, legally and not asking for government help. The same cannot be said of the people arriving today.

I don't watch fox and I'm a native here. Anything else?

The crime seemed to drop right at the same time as stop and frisk. I wouldn't say it was a murder capital, but changes needed to be made and the city flourished.

If this is about times Square, my opinion is who cares. It brings in tourism and made the streets safer. Nyers have other places to hang out in anyway.
