Tbf many on this subreddit are exactly like that

Tell him to go back to Florida

Actually I have, my wife also owned and ran a restaurant in NYC which I helped with for a number of years.

No one is forcing people to work on a holiday

Who do you think are driving the cars? People obviously

So check the numbers and come back and tell us. Because I can guarantee you the numbers back what I’m saying. You didn’t live in NYC did you, so how would you know? Since you don’t have the numbers or the “feel” to be able to argue this with me. Show me some facts if you have them.

Doubt that. I lived in Astoria Queens and East Harlem. I worked as a realtor so I took the trains to every part of the city almost every single day. Not only were fights more common on New York trains but incidents where mentally ill people randomly attacked others is more common there. I knew coworkers who were attacked (one was stabbed trying to intervene when a mentally ill man attacked a pregnant woman), my cousin was beat over the head with a pipe on a train in queens, I’ve gotten into a fight myself there as well among many other examples I could give personally and what’s been on the news. It’s just not true that the trains are more dangerous in Philly.

I lived in NYC for 12 years, and yes I was taking the subway the entire time I lived there. I witnessed violence more often on New York trains than I ever have in Philly. People get pushed in front of trains far more often in New York than happens here in Philly.

I’m talking less of how it feels and the actual attacks that have taken place on New York trains

There’s more murders in Philly though, not just comparing rates. And going by the rate I’d still say there are more attacks on nyc trains. You wouldn’t know that if you didn’t spend considerable time in NYC taking the subway.

The rates of the attacks are high, not low. I’m not sure where you got that from but I’ve seen the difference with my own eyes and from experiences of family and friends who live in NYC. Philly is more dangerous than New York there’s no question about that, but attacks from mentally ill people on the subway happen much more frequently in New York than in Philly.

I lived in NYC for 12 years, you get a better idea of the safety when you live there compared to just visiting. There’s definitely been more consistent attacks on the subways there compared to attacks on the trains here. Of course personal experience varies but overall NYC subways are more dangerous.

Hahah feel safe on NYC trains? Are you joking? There’s been plenty of attacks on New York trains, far more than there have been here. The mentally ill often lurk in the subways in New York.

Keep the cat

Most people I know have guns in their house as a security measure.

Or an indoor-outdoor cat. There are a few in that area.

Might be a street cat

Never planned to. But there’s plenty of places I don’t plan to go to that sound terrible.

Sounds terrible

Good luck to anyone moving there. Or anyone planning to move in any of the other new developments built smack dab in the middle of the hood, some built right next to the projects.

Yeah they’ve been saying that since 20 years ago

Yeah good luck to anyone moving right there

I knew a guy who was a manager there and even he said that lol

Hopefully the shitty dog owners will leave with you

Cuz they’re a moron. I would collect those bags and drop them on their front steps.
