People love to ignore reality. But in New York City? NYPD: Jogger choked, sexually assaulted and robbed on popular West Village path - CBS New York
A woman was attacked and sexually assaulted Sunday morning as she ran along the Hudson River greenway in lower Manhattan.

"I've always felt really safe, or naive, maybe," Kitty Preston said.
She isn't the only one.
As the city grapples with a crushing surge in violence, sex crimes are also on the rise. According to NYPD data, 386 rapes have been reported so far this year. That's a 23 percent increase over the same time span last year.
The category of "other sex crimes" rose as well, 17 percent.
You couldn't pay me enough to get me to live there.
