Question: if you grew up in such a safe neighborhood, why does the things that happen in bad neighborhoods such a concern to you now? Do you live in a bad neighborhood now?

So there's been a point in your life while living here that you did not take any precautions for your safety?
It's NYC, so no matter how safe it is, you should always use your basic street smarts, but now we have a serious mental health crisis that is not relegated to only high crime areas, so there's that problem. Second, we have a system that favors the criminals over the law abiding ones and when you have that, all bets are off, no matter how safe the neighborhood is or any of that.
Write your story of me however you want, I could care less
Interesting that you don't deny it. You like to see crime in good neighborhoods, correct? Let everyone in NYC feel what it's like to grow up in the hood. Am I correct? It's like seeing a wealthy person go broke or a celebrity fall from grace.

Some people just like to see others experience the same "pain" that they do. Just another version of , "if I can't have it, so can't you".

Yeah but you didn't answer my question though

I'm not here for anybody's entertainment, think what you want. What you think of me is irrelevant. You didn't answer my question either though. If you live in a good neighborhood, why do you care what happens in bad ones?

That's pretty much his attitude... The rationale is mind blowing.

Yeah, I worked my @ss off to have the life that I do, and not deal with certain quality of life issues.
I actually did. "It's NYC, so no matter how safe it is, you should always use your basic street smarts...." That means that I have always used common sense when out and about and my street smarts as a native New Yorker. We have a sense of when there's a problem.
As of now, the main precaution I have taken is to stop using the subway. I didn't use it that often before, but I have completely stopped now and will not take it. I either drive outside of Manhattan, take the express bus if going into Manhattan or use Revel, Uber, etc. if I am in Manhattan and need to get around. There is simply too much happening in the subways. Too many mentally unstable individuals and I refuse to be a statistic. My neighborhood is very safe, but with bail reform, that is leading to people from outside of the safe neighborhoods feeling more emboldened to do anything, so I would say that I'm on the lookout more and just more watchful than in years' past.
You guys are the exact reason why OP made the thread
The OP is exactly what is wrong with this City. These liberal yuppy transplants moving here for the "excitement" that they don't have in their small towns, so they figure let's move to NYC to create chaos and excitement. All of the random attacks in this City never deter them because they don't think that we have a mentally ill health crisis nor any sort of crime problem.
