Taft are between Fifth and Park Avenues.

That's King Towers that are now in red on the map.

Oops...I'll correct it

I could've sworn I shaded it in in the original map.

Anyway, if anybody else wants to be a collaborator, DM me with your email address (I'm 99% sure it has to be Gmail), and I'll add you, so you can change some portions as you see fit (keep in mind that I can remove collaborators if I see you're just making changes willy-nilly, but I don't think that will be an issue).

BTW, SeventhFloor, could you use a fill opacity of 65 instead of 45? I want the shading to be a bit brighter.

What about 8th Ave to Morningside Ave in Central Harlem? It's not color coded and I would say it's an orange as the rest of lower Central Harlem as there were shootings at the park last year.

I would argue that lower Franklin Ave area in Crown Heights should be orange instead of yellow cause there's always something going on in that street.

I do agree with making Ave C and D orange and the rest of Alphabet City yellow as Ave C does mark a difference in feel.

Another suggestion, how about extending the red part of Fort Greene to Carlton Ave since the PJs stop right there.

Thanks...I noticed my coloring was off but I didn't know how to match it to yours.

I agree with Franklin Avenue, I'll make the change tomorrow.
And yes again to Fort Greene.
We'll look into the Harlem one.

Makes sense. I think that's worth changing.

Thanks to checkmate and sevethfloor! This is great stuff for those of us outside of the area at the moment.

Small request: Can you offer one inclusive map with all boroughs shaded? It will help to see patterns across boroughs. The north end of Manhattan blending across into the Bronx seems to be one big problem area. Same with areas where Brooklyn and Queens merge. It's a bit easy to get confused when looking at the Queens map and seeing areas in what is actually the far eastern parts of Brooklyn clear..when I'm pretty sure some/all/most warrant some shading. Thanks!

Checkmate...this is an interesting map but clearly your Southern Bronx map is kinda outdated. I would say that is what it was in the 90s....but not today. I would like to provide my block by block insight to the Southern Bronx area (South of 163rd only)...and provide a more up to date, accurate, and more nuanced assessment based on the changes occuring. Do you really believe Melrose, which has almost completely been redeveloped as a new working/middle class enclave should simply be avoided and is dangerous? No way.

Provide me access and I will fix the obvious errors and provide insight into the real problem areas of the community, and those which are changing and should not be overlooked. You should be providing access to the trusted experts you know on this site who can give you the real nuanced and current block by block insight into safety and changes.
