Sensationalism get views, there's no way around it.
I'm sure we can all remember the riots in Portland in 2020. If you listened to the media, the entire city was engulfed in a Purge-esque level of violence and mayhem. I worked downtown during that time in the Federal Building which happened to be right next to ground zero of the riots. What the media didn't tell you is that 1. It primarily took place in a 3x1 block area, 2. It only happened at night. I would walk by the area to get lunch and it was completely normal (except for the barricades). Go a few blocks in any direction and you would have had no idea that anything different was happening. When people find out I'm from Portland, they still bring it up to this day. "How did you survive the riots". Lol, I just stayed away from the small area after dark for a few weeks.

Born and raised in NY,30mins North of NYC. Spent 50yrs living there,moved out when covid hit. Used to hang in NYC all the time in the 80s,little bit less in the 90s,hardly ever from 2000 on..theres certain parts of Brooklyn,Queens,Harlem that you'd be lucky to make it out unscathed or alive right now. Hang out long enough on Billionaires Row and you'll see some homeless dude pissing on the side of a building or taking a dump on the sidewalk. Forget about Times Square As a tourist visiting NYC for a few days or a week you're not getting the full NYC experience. Fact I'll just leave this here,the M5 owner sfrom NYC says NY is a shithole lol: https://nypost.com/2024/05/08/us-new...-for-150k-bmw/
