In a distressing report from New York, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district has seen a decline resembling conditions in “third world” countries, with issues like street vending, prostitution, and cleanliness problems.
Residents complain about the influx of illegal vendors and rising crime, with prostitutes openly displaying themselves on the streets.
“Like most of my like-minded residents, we see this as a third-world market,” local resident Ramses Frías said. “Basically, you just see clothes thrown across the floor … the items are stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores, and they just set up shop outside brick-and-mortar businesses. They take away trade from these businesses and don’t pay taxes.”
Frías noted that “There are no repercussions; they get a free pass.”
“They do whatever they please, they are open about it and not discreet,” Frías said. “They line up all along 90th street in front of a pizzeria, a 99-cent store and just try to pull men. You’ll see multiple women in scantily clad clothing. Now it’s cold, they are a bit covered up, but it will get worse in the summer.”
New York City officials have announced a reduction in the shelter stay duration for homeless migrants as the city struggles to accommodate thousands of migrants, marking a shift from the longstanding “right-to-shelter” policy.
