In putting the stats together, did you notice the drop of over 30% in murders? Yes, murder thankfully is down. But virtually every other type of crime is up dramatically. Some NYPD officers will tell you that minor crimes are up even more because many officers have stopped making arrests for those crimes. It's a lot of paperwork and the charges are usually dismissed, at least in some of the boroughs. There are a couple of stores near where my daughter lives in Manhattan who have closed due to uncontrollable crime. |

All true. Seeing shoplifters/pickpockets you have arrested let go ROR before you complete all the paperwork is, to say the least, discouraging. It is easy to transfer the data, however, because some of those arrested have been picked up literally dozens of times (1 had over 100 arrests). Where did they get these DAs?  |

There are plenty of statistics out there that illustrate how bad it's gotten. Like most crime surges, typically what takes place is the marginal increases in crime tend to occur in the neighborhoods where violence and crime was already bad. And the parts of Manhattan that are heavily touristy and commercial also have seen a rise in crime relative to what you saw the prior 15 years. And if you haven't heard about the spike in violence, felonies and murders in the transit system you're living under a rock. I have a lot of friends in Queens and play softball and hang out there every Sunday (Flushing, Richmond Hill, Bayside, Forest Hills, etc.) and it's lovely. My predominantly middle class neighborhood in the Bronx (Woodlawn) is still just as safe as it was before the pandemic as are other comparable community-oriented neighborhoods in the borough -- see Co-Op City, Morris Park, Eastchester Heights, North Riverdale, etc.. From a personal perspective, I am still pro-NYC, am not planning to flee for the suburbs, unless I end up a baseball's throw over the border in Yonkers. The only times I noticed I feel less safe are when I'm in certain parts of the Bronx after 5 or 6pm -- that seems to be when the trouble-makers come out. Prior to this recent wave, I wasn't flustered even being in rougher areas well after dark. I haven't felt unsafe on the subway personally, but then again my days of super late night rides on the 4 or the 2 are a thing of the past now that I'm in my mid-30's with a 2-year old at home. Latest I'm on the subway is coming home from a Yankee game at 11pm. On the flip side, I felt safer getting off the Metro North at 125th Street as a scrawny 14 year old than I do now as a strapping adult. Don't want to intrude. And, what about a school for your two year old? There are areas in Westchester other than Yonkers all its top notch schools - Hastings, Irvington, Ardsley, Scarsdale, Bronxville, Hartsdale, Pelham, Mamaroneck, Harrison, Rye and all the way up. Then there is Rockland County with good school districts in New City (Clarkstown, not E. Ramapo), Tappan, Pearl River. Rockland is a bit less pricey but still expensive. Parents usually shop school districts. No offense.. While I still love where I live now (north Bronx/Yonkers border), I absolutely will be keeping an open mind when it comes to my next move. I'm definitely more of a Hudson River town guy than an I-95 corridor guy when it comes to looking at Westchester. I do like Pelham but probably won't look to move anywhere east of New Rochelle. And as much as I enjoy time spent with friends and family in Pearl River, the other side of the Hudson is out for me. Luckily, I've been in the area since I was 5 years old so I'm pretty well versed on the ins and outs of school districts (and where it's preferable to be located within larger school districts ex. Yonkers and the Bronx/NYC). I would like for my daughter to go to Catholic high school but also want public school to be an option K-8. This is what the trajectory my sister and I followed -- public thru 8th, Catholic 9-12. |

Consider the home of Avery LaBarbera, Harrison. Nice, quiet little hamlet.

My wife grew up in Bronxville, a very nice town, but it has gotten very pricey (not that many other towns in the area haven't as well).

Wouldn’t recommend Bronxville. My sister lives there. Very, VERY pricey and unless you make what my brother-in-law made as managing partner at perhaps the most prestigious corporate law firm in the country (regularly flew the Concorde to London, Moscow,etc; Ed Muskie worked for him after his political career tanked; neighbors across the street are ambassador to I think it is Sweden; and at one time the 1 square mile town had more Fortune 500 CEOs than any town in the country).
Nice, but not THAT nice.😂
Oh, yeah, my brother-in-law is HC ‘60. Good guy. You wouldn’t know he was that rich and two of his sons are HC alums.

Agree. The 56 million tourists are a projection for 2022. Let's hope Mayor Adams gets the crime under control. The mayor is going to need a lot of help from the state -- thus far he is getting none. Laws and the presence of law enforcement on the street are pointless if there's no accountability within the judicial system. We have a big election coming up in November, hopefully these issues are addressed. NYC right now is total lawlessness -- unless you tell people to wear masks. This might be the kind of lawlessness 2010 is referring to: www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/new-nypd-statistics-show-shocking-crime-increase-in-manhattans-6th-precinct/ |

This location looks like the coast of Maine. It restores a little faith in how beautiful the Big Apple can be. |

The Hamptons are pretty different than Manhattan. |

The Hamptons are pretty different than Manhattan. The Tin Building by Jean-Georges is a sprawling new culinary destination located in lower Manhattan’s historic Seaport. For the coming weeks we’ll be serving up a taste of things to come while our team readies for our official launch this fall. |

Yes, but the photo on the link you provided takes you to a property on the Hamptons. Oh yeah, it's the Topping Rose House. The intent must have been to picture the Tin House Van. Anyway, even in Manhattan a seaport has to have ocean views...and a fishy smell. |
