“In the best of times, NYC is a hard place to live,” said Carr. “Now you have all this other stuff.  It’s a question for families. … to have to see a guy masturbating on the corner or explain to my kids while I’m buying diapers at Duane Reade why this guy wearing no shoes is collapsed on the floor and they’re doing CPR on him.”

“I have definitely seen more crime, drugs and harassment in one week than in my whole experience growing up here,” she said. “I don’t want to see a child get hurt or raped, before they realize maybe it was a mistake to put [hundreds of] drug addicts and sex offenders near schools in the most dense residential population in the city.”

One of the many problems among liberals is that they have no StreetSmarts. A child could see that this was gonna happen with this idiot is mayor. I’m one of the few people who has the right to bitch about him as I voted for her.

She was the Republican nominee in New York City's 2017 mayoral election against incumbent Mayor Bill de Blasio. She is running for Congress in the 2020 election, in New York's 11th congressional district.[4]Malliotakis has been endorsed by the Republican and Conservative Parties.[5][6]

The NYC I left nearly 30 year ago was much worse than today’s.  To have started a family there over the last 20 years (after Giuliani’s policies turned things completely around), only to see things descend into chaos and crime so quickly…that’s a failure of leadership.

I’m hoping De Blasio turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Things get so bad that people vote in another Republican Mayor.  There are two planning to run, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa and Billionaire John Catsimatidis who says he’s willing to spend 100 million. I think they’re really working together as Cats is on the Guardian Angels board and owns the radio station where Curtis has a show.
