Maybe. But the only way to get to Mount Sinai without walking through/near/around the PJs (and possibly getting jacked) is to walk down to 86th, over to Madison then go northward.

People pay to live in condos and luxury rentals right next to the projects in Chelsea, and close to the projects in LIC, the Upper West Side, etc.

In the most expensive neighborhoods in Manhattan you leave your building and you see homeless in the street.

As for projects when the real estate industry takes an interest in a neighborhood, the city ups the police presence and they deal with things just fine.

And not the greatest projects either.

Funny, people with no clue posting. News flash - this area is not Chelsea.
I guess you would only know that if you live in New York.

Who said it was Chelsea? It's Manhattan and the condos are rising, will be filled, and the neighborhood's bad element will be appropriately dealt with by the authorities.

For the right price I would live anywhere in Manhattan, even in the projects. Buy myself a lion and alligator for security purpose in my 5 bedroom apartment in the projects.
