Totally true. I think that's why it's important, in our very small way, to use our voices to put these stories into context, because there are other forces who wish to paint a picture of a city in despair and lawlessness, to serve their own agendas.
But I also think it's still far too early to talk about tourism, when we are in the midst of the pandemic and we have no idea what the economy will look like even in the fall, much less next year. I hope that we all survive this with our bank accounts intact, but the level of crime in the city may be the least of our problems in terms of restarting Broadway. |
