Please feel free to expand on this (seemingly) ridiculous claim. Are you mainly talking about the outer boroughs? From everything I can remember reading, crime in NYC has been trending downwards for years, and at no point when I was there did it seem unsafe. Prior to COVID, I’m pretty sure tourism was still doing just fine.
New York!? Lol!
It was:
en.m.wikipedia.org
I visited relatively recently. Was only in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn like but never felt unsafe. Probably one of the safer downtown areas in the US. Albeit, full of selfish Michael Douglas wannabes
I think a fair amount of folk switched from Obama to Trump. When you vote for someone on the back of big promises of change and nothing happens then you’re gonna be pissed.
Safety wise, it seemed to me that was pretty much on par with any other big city I’ve been in.
woooww mate, you're listening to all the wrong people.
I think he may have actually energized a decent few people who don’t normally vote as well. The type of people who think both parties suck and there’s no point in voting, but were willing to give an outsider a chance. Four years on, I’d say a lot of them have some buyer’s remorse and will either go back to staying at home, or vote one more time to try and correct their mistake.
honestly, I've been all over the place (excuse the humble brag) and I felt a bit unsafe in Sao Paolo and one or two other spots. I've been robbed a few times, once at knife point, gladly gave up what ever crap i had and moved on, not excusing them but they were out for cash not physical harm but I've never come across anything like Irish and Brittish cities after the pubs close for indiscriminate violence. Obviously if you go looking for trouble you'll find it anywhere. Granted, I haven't lived in Dublin for 12 years but last time I lived there, there's no way I'd let my wife come home from the pub when it closed on her own. I would in Boston or NYC.
London is far and away the big city I’ve spent the most time in, and honestly I don’t know that there’s anywhere in the world I’ve ever felt safer. There’s pretty much nowhere I’ve been in London (particularly Central) that I wouldn’t feel okay walking around at any hour of the day. There’s just a strength in numbers. Too many eyes watching for anybody to try anything too crazy.
Excellent stats. Do these stats prove your point that NY is a ‘cesspool’ and a ‘no go area’ though. It would be simpler to say you made a mistake by using hyperbolic language than doubling down and looking more daft

Here you go lads. My source is actually from NYPD themselves. Have a browse through. The great thing about these stats is that they are accurate and based on methodology and reports where there are real victims of crime
