New York City Thread: Part III (Info in OP)

I haven't been to Manhattan in 2 years now, the crime stats are insane, I just wonder if its even safe to walk around in Penn Station from things I've heard. People are getting killed every day.

This is such an uninformed comment…. And what “crime stats” are you citing? You mention getting “killed” is that the particular figure you’re claiming has become “insane”? The ACTUAL numbers are below.

From a generational low point. That very much fits into a "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" situation, finding a datapoint to support their pre-determined opinion.

The one true fact about New York City: "it used to be better/cool/safer/more fun/whatever positive description" when a person recollects their time living there compared to the present.

That's fine. I've been living in this city since the 80's. Is it as bad as it was back then? Not even close. Does it feel a bit worse, a bit edgier since the pandemic hit? Absolutely.

Booked my flights and will be in NY from Nov 18th until Dec 4th!

Attending 4 Ranger games (3 at MSG, 1 at UBS) and a Wolf Pack game. Oh, and first ever Thanksgiving in the US!
