NYC Transit Chief Says Crime Is in Your Head

Nothing to see here. Move along. If Janno Lieber thinks gaslighting New Yorkers will fix the subways, it's in his own head

A dismissive MTA boss Janno Lieber said, “Some of these high-profile incidents, you know, terrible attacks have gotten in people’s heads and made the whole system feel unsafe.” ...

Last year, there were 11 murders on the subway, according to Manhattan Institute – the most of the 21st Century. By the grace of God, it wasn’t 12 after an innocent man was pushed in front of a train by 23-year-old Kamel Hawkins on New Years Eve.

All the PR stunts of Governor Hochul riding the subway, with her armed security, to "prove" how wonderful it is, won't change reality.

But I'm writing about Democrats; they never worry about reality.

Denial won’t fix the trains.

The thing is, they don't want to fix the trains, or anything else.

And in a bit of delicious irony... Congestion pricing advocate attacked at NYC subway station — as new $9 toll pushes people into mass transit

Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station.

She wanted everyone to ride transit. Maybe they should have worked on crime first.
