[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the doorman thing for women is pretty accurate - and the bank of mom and dad will subsidize to get that safety for my daughter

60 year old women romanticizing their 5 story walk up from the 80s is an antiquated trope - walk around the east village on any night and once you cut through the haze of weed, tell me you would want your daughter entering a building alone - pass[/quote]

You are a complete nutter. I live and work in NYC and hire 22-25 year old women all the time for entry level positions on my team. None of them live in doorman buildings. All of them are fine. The East Village is crazy expensive and not dangerous. [/quote]

East Village esp at night isn’t great in terms of safety. Google it and you’ll see. [/quote]

I don’t need to Google it. I go there all the time. It’s fine. You sound like a suburbanite who comes to the Big City clutching your handbag, eyes darting around nervously. It makes you a mark.[/quote]

Except I live here too, I know. Don’t pretend that everyone waiting for subways doesn’t have their backs plastered against the wall so they don’t get shoved in front of a train. Or that very familiar look of tension when a disgusting homeless creep comes onto the car ranting and raving. [/quote]
I think that is crazy, to be sure.  But, I think most young people are willing to live with having to be more careful to live in NYC.

It's like how most parents are willing  to send their kids to public school even though there is a risk of a mass shooting.[/quote]
