just getting out ahead of this one: there is no correlation between my recent decision to move to the suburbs and the instant, sharp downturn in murders in New York City
@noahshachtman.bsky.socialNew York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.
