I admit that New York City is a dangerous place to live, but only given its world symbolism. I don't feel any less safe today than yesterday though. If you think those bozos in the executive branch have been keeping you safe, then I can understand why you're concerned that it's time for them to retire to a life of highly paid speaking engagements. Brooklyn won't be the same without you, but I'm not going to be leaving.
