| He's right - there are many stores closed/boarded up, and yes - there is a video about a rape in the subway being widely circulated on the internet. Does this paint a complete picture of NY? No. I live here and while it's certainly different, it's not dead by any means. But he's right - the impression that tourists may be getting about NYC is not good and we will have to work to overcome that before we can get those buses of grey-hairs back in filling the seats and paying the bills. |

| NYC is one of the safest places in the world. I live here. It's not that different. | |

| The trouble is a disparity between one reality - shootings are up by 50% this year - and another reality - New York has been experiencing its lowest levels of violent crime in nearly 70 years. So it's very easy for propagandists to focus on the first reality, and then build a nightmare story out of that, rather than attempt to educate people through a nuanced portrait that accounts for multiple facts. | |

| I thought this NYT's podcast interview with Ashley Southall was enlightening. | |
