Policing by definition is going to involve what you would call “harm.” It involves forcing people to do things they don’t want to do, including a lot of violent people. It involves guns and knives. This explains why NYPD shoots more people than teachers do. I can’t believe I actually needed to point that distinction out.

So the longer it takes to deliver the food, the more the delivery worker gets paid?

I think that’s largely true, but there is another side unfortunately. Which is a lot of the homeless and drug scene that used to exist out there has been pushed inward, basically because police and private security won’t tolerate it happening in the new fanciness of Hudson Yards. Buses, too—last ten years, a lot of “commuter buses” that used to stop on the west side have moved in east of 8th avenue, which is insane given the congestion already in that area.
