I mean Kinda depends on the neighborhood? Mine was still pretty gritty in the early-to-mid 90’s (crack vials in the stairwell and all that) But even then, we could live our lives and go out and do stuff without living in constant abject fear, we just stayed aware and exercised basic common sense.

kind of weird. It was still a somewhat industrial neighborhood. And there were scores of Polish guest workers. Men who came to work & send money back to Poland. Apartments were made into dormitories with beds in every room. Mostly they just worked, ate in Polish cafeterias & drank on street corners.

I mean, yeah. It’s the kind of vibe that could seem “scary” if someone just came from a sleepy small town, but actually living there wasn’t “scary” as such. Shit could and did happen and we were aware of that and tried to avoid it, but most days it was just people living their lives, you know?

I did grow up in a small town, but I also traveled all over the world with my parents when I was a kid. For example, I'd been to two of the three points of land closest to Point Nemo and had no-shit fascists point guns at me before I hit puberty, so my perception of scary may be a bit unusual.

I've lived in NYC since 1983. The city is "better" now but mostly in ways that I don't want. Rents are way higher. Everything is too expensive. People moved here to live the NYC life they saw on TV shows.

NGL some of us were secretly hoping that would happen in 2020 when most of the wealthier people were fleeing the city, and vacancies increased and rents temporarily plateaued for a brief moment in time (But then we had a wave of wealthy people renting second apartments as their “WFH space,” so yay)
