[QUOTE="Exvalley, post: 920592, member: 28679"] I am not sure how that is relevant. Nobody has suggested that the area around Penn Station is the most dangerous area in the city. That is a straw man argument. The pertinent issue is that, for Amtrak travelers, the area around Penn Station has become more dangerous compared to last year. According to crime data published by the New York City Police Department, overall crime in Midtown South is up 41 percent this year compared to 2020. Robberies are up 189 percent. Felony assaults are up 151 percent. City-wide, crime in August 2021 dropped 5.4 per cent compared to the same time last year. So the area around Penn Station has become more dangerous, whereas the city as a whole has become less dangerous. That is a concerning trend for those of us who frequent Penn Station. [/QUOTE]
