I used to visit for work once a year. Haven't been since 2019 but have heard how bad it is. It is sad and frankly maddening what has been done to NYC.

I'm thinking about your post from yesterday about when predictions don't pan out. I predict NYC will survive these horrible leftist state and city governments. It's happened before (1970s,early 1990s) and the pendulum seems to swing back faster than other places. Maybe I'll be proven wrong this time.

The rise of progressive Soros backed District Attorney is the most dangerous and deranged development since 1992.
Crime started to decline unexpectedly in 1993, the 20th anniversary of Roe v Wade. Steven Levitt became famous and infamous.
