I stopped to watch kids playing at recess – security was called

Could you pay for some "security staff" to "clean up" the area around your storefront? As long as the clean up process doesn't involve anything more than misdemeanors it sounds like nobody will be prosecuted.

Here’s a crazy thought. Have your police, who are already paid for by usurious New York City taxes, be allowed to enforce the law.

In theory police enforce the law. In practice, police do what democratically elected officials tell them to do, and there will always be more shoplifters and homeless people than business owners. So buy private security and know that they work for your interests specifically. The cleaned up street will attract more customers and the added security will pay for itself.

“Will” pay for itself? Spoken like someone who has never had to pay the bills to run a retail establishment.
