[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meaning pre and post 9/11. Was there a lot of crime? What were your favorite places to go to? [/quote]

Pre-9/11 many people I knew had been held up at knife or gun point or burgled. It was just considered normal, not necessarily dangerous. Men catcalled women on every single street corner.  Most of us considered it fairly safe. Also, people yelled. A lot. If you got in someone's way they were going to tell you off till they were blue in the face.

Post-9/11 there were military with automatic weapons everywhere, and we were told there were cameras everywhere watching our every move, so everybody started behaving and it became what most people today would consider safe. Then bloomberg came to power and illegally stayed 3 terms and pushed out all the poor people and brought in white UMC people and it got even safer and people stopped yelling at each other because those demographics consider that behavior unbecoming. Basically, it stopped being ny. [/quote]
