Higher rent no longer guarantees safer streets. The soft crime policies changed the game.

@Staying_Sane_2022 when did higher rents guarantee safer streets…? How old are you… nobody nowhere in nyc is promised that I’m sorry but your rent is for your space inside not outside in the hallway down the street or your neighborhood…. If you want safe street move to the country ain’t nobody for miles and rent is $400 a month for a whole house…
