    To provide context, gun-related deaths in NYC have plummeted over the last 2 decades, whereas the number of cars (and car-related deaths) has, well, not.

    Despite what you may see in TV shows and movies, New York City is a very safe place, and has been for almost 25 years now. Sadly, that also has come at the cost of making it a shockingly boring and expensive place.

      NYC is boring? I’ve not been, but I feel you need to explain that, as I can’t imagine a city as old, large and dense as NYC being “dull”

        I’ve no idea how anyone could be bored there. I literally feel frenetic energy throughout the city. There is no possibility you can run out of things to do there.
