    They definitely cleaned it up from decades ago when times square was next to a red light district. 911 brought in the military and never left. I’m an ex heroin addict and I remember going into New York City just to hang out, but not being able to find any dope anymore, if we got sick we’d have to go back home to Newark. About 20yrs ago.

    But I will say Baltimore is fucking rough. Newark and Camden NJ are rough AF. And currently New Orleans has a police officer shortage, they’re recruiting civilians for non violent crimes and ticketing. Violent crimes are skyrocketing, businesses are closing shop. I work in New Orleans on the weekends and I saw ZERO cops for three days, there used to be cops on horses for crowd control on Bourbon Street. There was a shop that got robbed, and they called the cops, the cops didn’t show up until the next day. After dark I pretty much park wherever I want at this point, civilians aren’t volunteering to ticket the quarter late at night. So I’ll give them Nola, multiple parts of Jersey, and Baltimore.

    There’s a similar mindset in America as well. I live in the country and many people here are scared of big cities. I’m originally from the New York City area, and when I asked a guy that I was dating if he would like to come up to New York with me he said no I don’t want to get robbed. That’s just one of many examples.
