>>2062045Surely you're not idiotic enough to say that police presence has NO effect on the amount of crime, but just pushes it around like a sweep?
And even if that's the case, simply moving the crime to less critical areas, and away from say, the incredibly expensive and vital transit system seems like a no brainer.
>If you go outside at all, you need to practice personal safety by being prepared, This is true in NYC, but there are other transit systems where this isn't the case. Now, to be clear, I do agree that there is a "move the problem" aspect to this, and that the places with much safter transit systems aren't simply throwing cops at the problem, but your line of logic makes no sense..
