A rezoning could look something like this… basically completing the East to west Manhattan skyline finally.

With what is going on in Antarctica, as well as the rest of the world, they better hurry up but I am afraid it is to little and to late.

New York 2020s = New York 1970s, only this time, people willingly voted for it. Looking forward to the next Bernie Goetz.

I do think it is good to face these ‘unpleasant truths’ (red pilled) rather than fooling ourselves about the current state of affairs in NYC. I moved to Manhattan in the 80s - and the streets are looking more and more like the ‘bad old days’ of the 70s. I mostly look only at beautiful architecture, read great literature, seek and fine entertainment and art, talk to positive people and selectively ignore all the ugliness in life.
I do appreciate getting a ‘wake-up call’ now and then - so thanks for that post.
PS. The new DA is getting big donations from Soros - he is pretty much bought and paid for by the world most vile man in modern day politics. What is the agenda - to much to go into here for sure.

Thanks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not even a big law-and-order type, but there’s a line that needs to be drawn between legitimate criminal justice reform and utter disregard for the decline in quality-of-life that will result from overreaches like this. From what I understand, under the DA’s new guidelines, you could rob someone at gunpoint and not receive a mandatory jail sentence because the crime did not result in “serious physical injury” (Bragg’s words). Ridiculous!

Funny thing is the new mayor was supposed to be a “law-and-order type” as an x cop who would reign in on the lawlessness currently taking place in NYC - then we this nonsense appointment of a new DA.

If you lived in NYC in the 1970s and 1980s you’d know how inane and hyperbolic these comparisons are.
