My view is that the city has been getting rougher, dirtier and functioning less well long long before COVID. I have no intention of leaving but when friends talk about returning it’s something I highlight to them.
There has been a uptick of petty crime, muggings etc over a number of years. What’s happened more recently has hit headlines but it was creeping up long before this.
I don’t feel as safe in the city as I did 7-10 years ago. And the city doesn’t work as well as it did 7-10 years ago (infrastructure, subways, roads etc).
