Thanks @evolved08gsr!
I hate having such a dreadful view of the city I was born in.., but it has (or is) being turned into a shopping mall for the tourists and a playground for the wealthy. I agree, it is nice to see people travel to different parts of the city at all times of night, without the fear of God in their eyes. But that air of danger is part of what gave NY'ers that "Sixth Sense." Homelessness is off the charts, while the average one bedroom apartment rents for $3,600 per month. "The City That Never Sleeps" is becoming the "The City For The Rich Only."
