NYC feels like a free-for-all nowadays.

Post-Covid I see the following every single time I step outside.

- stop signs are optional

- gas powered mopeds in the bicycle lanes

- e-bike Citi bikers being riding recklessly

- bicycles on the sidewalks

- NYPD nowhere to be seen.

I'm guessing the NYPD is having a staffing shortage like other police departments across the US?

It isn't very surprising what happens when we have less police in our cities.

Yeah I think a camera at every intersection is a good idea. I’m sure people from out of town would hate this (and probably some ppl in nyc would hate it too). But it would save lives. And if it led to law-following, it would great decrease stress.
