I hear this complaint now and then, but the fact of the matter is that New York used to be a shit hole in decline before it got gentrified. I avoid Times Square because of the foot traffic, but when I do pass through, I don't feel like I'm in any danger. In any case, that entire area was going to be razed and replaced with cold, soul-less office buildings if not for some folks who wanted to keep the area looking just about the same.
