I think crime is nearly nonexistent in the average person’s daily life and the future has never looked brighter for the city.

No, the stats don’t say otherwise. The statement was “I think crime is nearly nonexistent in the average person’s daily life. . . “

The stats show crime is increasing. But, they don’t show that they’re a part of the average person’s daily life. I’m guessing that will be somewhat influenced by the neighborhood you live in.

Edit: fat fingered grammar

The average person certainly isn’t a daily victim of crime but the average person in NYC probably sees some kind of crime several times weekly, if not daily.

White transplants are clueless until a bum throws shit in their face. Even then they probably want restorative justice

For the minorities and elderly, they face higher risk in this current climate
