The Garment District is Gotham’s newest shooting gallery, a disturbing heroin hotspot of addicts booting up in broad daylight.
The outgoing de Blasio administration appears unwilling or unable to address the crisis, as the quality-of-life disaster unfolds just steps from high-profile Midtown landmarks such as Macy’s, Madison Square Garden and the sparkling new Moynihan Train Hall. The block bordered by 35th and 36th streets, and Seventh and Eighth Avenues, is “littered with used needles, broken glass crack pipes, trash, urine, and feces” as junkies shoot up and dealers brazenly sell drugs, lamented one neighbor on social media. “I’ve personally seen dozens of deals go down.

I live about 30 miles from a small city of 40,000 population. We have two neighborhoods like that; one on each side of town. Its like watching an episode of Walking Dead. They look at normal people the way a starving lion looks at a slow zebra.

Over a half century into LBJ’s “Great Society / War on Poverty” + 0bama’s Fundamental Transformation” and here we are.
...... and all engaged and informed conservatives get to do is say “We told ya so” as Dopey Joe and depraved democrats plan on throwing even more of our money at the problem they created.

And not so long ago Guliani had the city cleaned up, and crime was very low. Friends who are from there, and lived there at the time said that Guliani brought a real rebirth and ray of sunshine to the city.
And the Dems disassembled all of that as quickly as the could.
Enjoy your sewer.

I don't really care about NYC EXCEPT that what happens there has a nasty habit of coming right up the river. Like the middle east, build a fence around it, keep them contained, & let them have at it. Hey, I can dream too!

Even Deadwood, after it's "Kinder Gentler, softer Law Enforcement" phase, begged the Earps to come back.
"Pax Earp" is an american, historical, sociological bit of iconography. That EVERY American knows and can relate to.
Blue cities Sheriff Behans in cahoots with the red sash wearing Clantons and McLaurys have created hell on earths,
and the "good people" that live there will now be looking for Earps

You can not even at gunpoint get me to ever again visit NYC. It wasn't all that great the first time. Keep your slum and good luck if you stay.

Until Covid hit and people stopped meeting face to face, I made fairly regular trips to NYC to scout/plan VIP events for fortune 100 executives flying in from the West, in my hat/boots I "stood out" a bit, people treated me the way they did Croc Dundee in the movies, even took pictures. Doormen, Cops, even the panhandling bums on the street came to recognize me and were as friendly as can be. "Polite" too. Maybe the Next mayor of NYC will hire a bunch of cowboys to help him "Fix" the place.

What causes the junkies to get the bends? Looks like they are all searching for a contact lens

“It is absolutely critical that our elected officials take action immediately to remove these individuals from the streets and ensure the safety of all residents, employees and visitors as we work to rebuild New York City following the pandemic,” Blair said. “This change is long overdue.” The problems in NYC just like San Francisco are not due to the pandemic. The problems in both of these cities are due to Democrat leadership. It is truly horrific to see this happening to our fellow citizens. Both NYC and SF need better leadership from their mayors but also both states are deteriorating because of Dem governors

comrade bill has no problem with the criminality going on in NYC, for him it's his badge of courage to show just how "liberal" he really is.

Welcome to Wilhelm DeBlasio's New York. LBJ started it, the democRATS keep it going. We, as a nation, are going right down the toilet.

Nice prosperous society you got there. Be a real shame if someone got it hooked on Marxism and turned it into a third world hellhole.
