So many people been listening to right wing/ Russian propaganda for so long they are scared to go to the cities. I mean they’re afraid. I lived in New York City for 13 years, in the 80s. It was wonderful. just going out on the street and walking was always interesting. In all that time I only got robbed once and it was for $13 and it was because I let my guard down and showed a little money in the bodega at 3:00 AM It was snowing and I didn’t take precautions. still nothing happened to me. Couple of junkies with a very small knife They didn’t steal my beer. They didn’t steal my bike. and that was the only time I’ve ever had any conflict on the street
