Not paying attention one day, I took 41st street instead of 42nd on my way toward the Port Authority and my bus ride home.
42nd tended to be better policed. As for 41st, on this particular afternoon, circa 1984, from Broadway to 8th Avenue I passed two guys smoking a crack pipe, a hooker giving a blowjob, a fight, plus several aggressive beggars.
At 8th Avenue I found four cops all hanging loose, so I walked up to them and related all that I had just seen.
They laughed...before one finally said. "Stay off 41st Street. Seriously. Don't go there."
I said "Why do we put up with this? In broad daylight?"
The same cop said, "Hey, all I can tell you--it's going to have to get a lot worse before anyone's going to do anything to fix things."
Yes, indeed... Used to relish after work activities!
Times Square changed from filthy/dangerous to awesome!
One of my favorite clubs used to be a XXX theatre. But they turned it into a Motown dance club attracting people of all races and it was my absolute favorite night out!!!
Not at all like that. No, I just got onto my bus, fell asleep, woke up at my stop, climbed in my car, drove home, told my wife about it. Just one of those moments you remember.
let crime get so out of control that legitimate business leaves, get our tax money to house the criminal aliens, give it to some wealthy landowner and get a kickback
it's the same reason they put them up in luxury hotels and condos
i mean, you can't expect people who lived in shacks and shit in the street to live in an abandoned Walmart or warehouse or something
Rudy cleaned up NY with his no broken windows policy
It did not matter how minor the crime was, people were arrested and prosecuted
he turned NY from the kind of shit hole it is today into a relatively safe and decent place
I'm from Ohio. I had heard both good and bad things about NYC my entire life. I finally decided to visit in 2009 or so because of cheap airfare, I even flew into Trenton and took the train, felt completely safe. I went back again around 2012 with one girlfriend with a different girlfriend in 2019. I will not return any time soon. Each time I went it got a little worse and a little more sketchy. It wasn't completely ruined by democrats right away, but the woke mind-virus is like HIV, it has slow effects but once it has gripped the body, it's too late to stop it.
I'm hijacking to clarify op's post. The place was vacant, and shut down due to nazi lockdowns. Now they are filling it with enemy comba... err, "migrants".
The lions share of that money will be diverted to corps that exist only on paper and the usual graft recipients. The entire thing is one massive graft operation.
But crappy houses that were worth nothing. Stuff 20-40 migrants where 10 people should live. Grab the rent from your politics buddies. Let him have some by donating to their campaign.
Excuse me, but I have seen told that illegal immigrants are an economic benefit. Why does it cost New York anything? Aren't they earning money from these illegals?
🤗 Brilliant! Tourists are lining up to visit this historic landmark and… oh, wait… tourists don’t go on vacation to mingle with the mentally insane and drug-addicted?!?! 😧
Democrats wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t plan to get something back out of it. Behold the replacements for all of the unruly patriots, an obedient welfare-army ready and willing….
Not arguing Mayor Adams isn't a moron, but the title of this post is 100% misleading. They moved the migrants into a vacant building where a McDonalds once was years ago. It's not like they took over an active McDonalds here and put migrants in there.
I really despise misleading post titles like this - we should leave this kind of deception to the MSM and report accurately. I guess that doesn't get enough upvotes though.
Speaking of New Jersey, here are an additional ten most likely shithole cities and towns where these illegals will land: Irvington, Asbury Park, Orange, Vineland, Bridgeton, Trenton, Paterson, Passaic, Newark and Atlantic City. I already avoid these shitholes, but it is going to get a lot worse.
Clickbait title. The mcdonald's was in a building that was shut down in 2020 during the covid lockdown. It's a vacant building. And fuck NYC, I hope the illegal gang population outnumbers the nigs so we can get some entertainment.
I've never been to NY but every time I hear a story from friends that travelled there it's like they're trying to convince themselves how great it was. It always sounded like a shithole.
[NYC Mayor Eric] Holden added: “This is a problem that the Biden administration created and the government should foot the bill and have a plan to feed and house them.
Why would you expect this government to do anything?
Yeah we’ve had a few close up shop. The one by me is barely hanging on. And the nicest one has been taken over by the inner city folks. They literally bus people in just to hang at the mall all day
NYC used to be awesome. Giuliani cleaned that place up after a string of Democrats. Now it has returned to being a crime riddled shithole.
I felt safe walking around when he was in office. Always a cop in sight in Times Square. Now NYC is a no go place for me.
The 1993 crime bill was the best thing Biden and Clinton ever did. Of course the Dems hate it now.
The black leaders today railing against it, were the ones who pushed it too.

Back when black leaders knew that the directions their communities were going were going to end up looking life Africa and not America.

I remember being out at 3am walking the streets of NYC and having a great time on weekends. Rudy did great things for that city.
Tbf I bet you anything this is vindictive shit by Adams and I’m ok with it.
How much money is McDonalds giving to influence immigration policy?
This is the consequence of their own greed.
As AC/DC said, "I feel safe in a cage.... in New York City."
Not paying attention one day, I took 41st street instead of 42nd on my way toward the Port Authority and my bus ride home.

Giuliani!
I remember accidentally getting on a street of cars with doors open and blowjobs in all the cars. It was like an open-air whorehouse.
LOL Memories! LOL
And everyone clapped.
Not at all like that. No, I just got onto my bus, fell asleep, woke up at my stop, climbed in my car, drove home, told my wife about it. Just one of those moments you remember.
here's the deal
let crime get so out of control that legitimate business leaves, get our tax money to house the criminal aliens, give it to some wealthy landowner and get a kickback
it's the same reason they put them up in luxury hotels and condos

Every leftists I know in MYC admits Guliani was the best mayor they ever had, with Bloomberg being a decent successor.
Yet, they'll never vote for a republican. It's such a joke.

They hate americans.
Commies gonna commie.

That's a lot of women and children he's saving.
They're not even pretending anymore.
A full Battalion of combatants.
Maybe we should start protesting about how illegal invaders are being sexist and exclusionary?
The city has estimated it will spend $4.2 billion on the migrant crisis by the middle of next year.
In a statement, Adams said that more than 51,000 migrants had arrived since the spring and that than 31,000-plus were being cared for by the city.
———————-
So, 4 billion for 50,000 illegals? How many are in the US in total?
The lions share of that money will be diverted to corps that exist only on paper and the usual graft recipients. The entire thing is one massive graft operation.
See what German politicians did.
But crappy houses that were worth nothing. Stuff 20-40 migrants where 10 people should live. Grab the rent from your politics buddies. Let him have some by donating to their campaign.
All taxpayers money.
See where Germany is now….
Grift, but I think we all got it.
Did they say migrant crisis? That's very invaderphobic
The only crisis is that we’re not bringing enough people fast enough.
I calculated by the drop in national IQ, that there are a out 70 million here.
Excuse me, but I have seen told that illegal immigrants are an economic benefit. Why does it cost New York anything? Aren't they earning money from these illegals?
Come to America, and you'll receive $84K!
The sad part is, how much have the Democrats skimmed from the top of that? I bet less than $5K actually makes to each illegal alien.
🤗 Brilliant! Tourists are lining up to visit this historic landmark and… oh, wait… tourists don’t go on vacation to mingle with the mentally insane and drug-addicted?!?! 😧
I venture to say they could probably do that closer to home and save some $$.
Democrats wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t plan to get something back out of it. Behold the replacements for all of the unruly patriots, an obedient welfare-army ready and willing….
They call that a Soup Kitchen. Oh, and here they left you a note....

Actually he is a moron unqualified to be Mayor of New York only there because he is a minority.
So he is a diversity vote?
Seriously, I was reading the headline trying to find the correlation to this post title...
Shitholes gonna shithole
They’re getting their sAnCtUaRy CiTy good and hard.
Their journey has come to an end. They made it, this is the big time.
Living in a McDonalds.
What a bright future.
The dreamer's dream has never been so good.
Is this the Portland CHAZ business model? I thought They grew their own food...
Oh maybe this Skid Row Los Angeles business model.
Sounds great And if it takes off in NYC they can successfully copy it in Camden, New Jersey and Wilmington Delaware and other nearby shitholes!
Speaking of New Jersey, here are an additional ten most likely shithole cities and towns where these illegals will land: Irvington, Asbury Park, Orange, Vineland, Bridgeton, Trenton, Paterson, Passaic, Newark and Atlantic City. I already avoid these shitholes, but it is going to get a lot worse.

This doesn't seem like a situation that would meet fire code.
....I hope they don't have a chimpout that includes fire.
The McDonalds closed in 2020
This is what happens when you have a BLM communist as the mayor.
Notice how many "refugees" are huge middle aged men, no women, no children.
Papas Fritas for everyone!
The only thing invaders need is a bullet
Vote laundering.
They are not "migrants"...they are INVADERS
So now the "migrants" have a base of operations right in Times Square, brilliant strategy as usual from the moronic left.
Sure, they can work at McDonald's. . .
I've never been to NY but every time I hear a story from friends that travelled there it's like they're trying to convince themselves how great it was. It always sounded like a shithole.
Go.. back.. to.. your.. original country... do not pass go.
Why would you expect this government to do anything?
That quote caught my eye, too. But the person who said it was a D councilman from Queens.
NYC said they were a sanctuary city, they need to put their $$ where their mouth is.
Biden’s “Work From Home” program
You should see the malls around here.......
Yeah we’ve had a few close up shop. The one by me is barely hanging on. And the nicest one has been taken over by the inner city folks. They literally bus people in just to hang at the mall all day
Must fucking stink in there
Is Texas still bussing them over?
Did the city buy the store? Already own it?
Get them some t-shirts: "Came to America and All I Got Was Diabetes {McDonalds Logo}"
"What did you do with all the batteries the Mets fans threw at you during the '99 playoffs?"
"I gave the batteries to your girlfriend for her vibrator."
I love that guy.
