2017 Was The Lowest Homicides in NYC since 1957

[69 others]

Always some clown from london in American city crime threads trying to boast up London knife crime bunch of off brand jafaicans.


As far as nyc a combination of having high employment especially in the trades where dudes who dropped out of school or have records can easily find work and the street drug game being dead and younger dudes not finding it appealing helped the crime rate a lot

This is false, in terms of volume and in terms of percentages

Already had this discussion with someone else. In terms of volume, yes, New York City has the highest number of black-owned business.

I agree that it will change. Before places like fort green were "cool to live" they were always immensely convenient to jobs/city public trans. I don't even think Newark has 24 hour public trans and i dont know anyone living in NYC but working in jersey. But millions of others due the opposite. Proximity to Manhattan jobs is a massive factor here. We both agree Newark will change. what im saying is places like jersey city will change faster and to a greater degree

Obviously but in Newark case, they're trying to make that city stand out so they can turn it into some other shyt on its own. They want new people to come in that area and stay. A lot of people would move into new jersey if it had more going for it and apparently, the jersey government wants that to happen so... all it takes is a few more tourist attractions, night spots, transportation adjustments and etc then it's a wrap.

You dudes just make up whatever

Atlanta and DMV/Baltimore lead by percentages and Chicago leads by volume.

It's actually happening already. It would be a smart idea to buy property in Newark and the surrounding area now. I think jersey city and Hoboken pretty much are just taking advantage of what's going on in new York. I think what's going on in Newark is the same thing except they are dead serious about cleaning that city up.

All the peices are right in front of everyone's face too:
"Every other city close in proximity to NYC is already insanely overpriced.And there's only one city left that has direct rail access to NYC?" And The last PATH train station that offfers direct access to NYC is right there in the city? "There's a ton of cheap dilapidated housing there that ma easily obtainable?"

Why wouldn't it get gentrified? The only thing stopping it is that there's a bunch of people there that won't or can't move. You can't make them move so you price them out. Newark is full of bums on government assistance and high earning professionals who are trying not to get completely robbed on rent. There's no middle ground. Something's got to give. I make 90k a year and work in NYC but when I walk down the street in Jersey it's worse than Englewood in Chicago, which is ludicrous considering my rent here is $1,200/month. My apartment would be $600/month in Chicago. People don't like making good money to live around bums and gangbangers, but the only other option is to hand over ALL your money in rent in New York, which lost its allure in the early 2000's at the latest. It's living solely off reputation at this point.

BlackDemographics.com | Black Owned Businesses Statistics Scroll down and read

And the link I posted earlier (black business index) doesn’t show Chicago being even close to New York City in volume

Data from a half decade ago and still would prove you wrong with Atlanta and DMV/Baltimore ranking higher when you consider both percentage and volume.

Yes, this data is from a half decade ago but I don’t think you should expect much change in 5 Years.

And the data on that link clearly says NYC has the highest VOLUME of black-owned business. Atlanta is number 2.

[BaileyPark31]

you ever been to camden, LOL

Yea. Maybe a drop better lol

 

[QU Hectic]

Seems New york been soft since Snoop crushed the building

You know what, if being able to walk your neighborhood anytime you feel without fear, enjoying nightlife without fear, being able to live without fear is being soft than I’m for it. I’m happy and proud that my city has progressed. Life is not a hip hop video from the early 90s.

this x100


born and raised in NYC, in my 30s, i remember the 90s.

the only time i feel "unsafe" is when i travel out of the city. colombia, NO, Chicago, etc

NYC is the greatest city in the world as is, now that its one of the safest?

i love colombia but looking over your shoulder 24/7 def drops it a couple of pegs. NYC is perpetually safe. thats only a positive
