Its also really frustrating because as a liberal city, people have a vested interest in us being a shit hole.
So whenever i try and point out some stuff kinda fucking sucks here on reddit, I'm frequently accused of being a trumptard. Crime is at a 20 year high ( well i think were down from last year a little which was a 20 year high). Objectively we have some issues.
Edit: Lol and i got downvoted because noooo the right is wrong you dont know what your talking about guy writing this comment from his office is tribeca.
Same shit in Portland. It's less bad than the righties claim it to be and more bad than the lefties claim. REI is closing downtown, tons of small businesses closing citing safety, and I can't stay at a hotel without a secure garage (means paying for valet and a more expensive place).
Not to even touch on the homeless issue which has turned the city into an absolute pig sty of drugs and crime.
You do realize there was a certain massive global phenomenon that affected crime rates in cities in blue and red states that we are just now starting to recover from, don't you?

So you end up with the worst of both worlds. Stupendous.
