This is why cops are nuts do for doing anything. And for believing people who claim not to be "extreme" leftists but vote for the extreme leftist DA who has a D after their name who campaigned on how they would NOT prosecute crime.

Cops' only responsibility is to take reports for crimes committed, after the fact. Do it. Who cares what happens to the civilians who voted for this nonsense? That's their problem lol.

Do your own research. Im anxiously awaiting your post showing how the Koch and Mercers are increasing crime in inner cities with their support of lax enforcement of laws.

More like people won't get the same sort of deal elsewhere.....

Where else are you going to get an apartment in new construction luxury building at vastly reduced rent, *and* can't be touched?

Where else if you're in this country illegally be treated as if you aren't?

And so it goes.....

Poor or even lower working class have a far better deal in NY than elsewhere, that's why they remain. Yes, many would be "poor" if they left city because no place else doles out so many goodies.

I agree with Seventh. I always said I was gonna leave as soon as I had my pension. And I did. I'd have gone further if not for family but I'm telling you all you gotta do is go 10 min outside the city limits and life is totally different.

I sold my tiny ass townhouse for $420 on the dot and bought a bi-level with a 180x51 yard, 2 car garage and 4 car driveway for $100 (literally) less only 10 min from Staten Island.

If the deals are so good then why don't you trade

One, I own, don't believe in long term renting under any circumstances.

Two, have not nor can ever see myself needing to rent a home so desperately would be willing to undergo the intrusive process called "lottery system".

Depends for who but it's not BS. Maybe you have no familial obligations but others do.

Some of us are still raised to respect our parents and grandparents and feel that we have certain obligations.
