I’d be interested in what gets counted and what doesn’t. A friend in Sunnyside reported an attempted assault that occurred in the wee hours but the cops kept telling her the guy ‘probably thought she was cute.’ I would assume the ‘official statistics’ are lower than reality.

Yes, I believe Bloomberg’s crime stats. I also heard there was a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Will have to check that out.
