It's been a looooong time since I visited NYC and always wanted to go back.

Is it true that NYC is getting very dangerous?

Have you been there recently? How safe did you feel?

Would be interesting to hear from those of you that grew up in NYC...and what your thoughts are on this subject. Also I've always been fascinated by the history of NYC so share stories of growing up there please if you would.

TIA
I used to work for the RR running trains into the city [14 yrs ago]. I stay in touch with a few coworkers that tell me it's ALOT worse now. Homeless people are more aggressive, random attacks are more often. I feel there are much better places in the US I would visit first.
We have a 3 week road trip coming up in Sept. Vegas to New Orleans, should prove to be interesting.
In any case, be safe and enjoy.
