DiBlasio and the city council want to decriminalize public drinking, urinating, aggressive panhandling, turnstile jumping, and being in parks after hours.

For the last couple of summers, many of the Crusties have been heading north to the Upper West Side, You would see them all over Broadway from the 70s on up. Seems like they made a lot of money panhandling up there. This summer at the request of a City Council member and the Community Board there was a big police crackdown on that stretch of Broadway targeting quality of life issues. They even kicked out the booksellers for awhile (who are protected by the 1st Amendment). The booksellers were leaving ther tables and merchandise on the street overnight, leading to lots of complaints by newer local residents, who are much less tolerant these days than the people who lived there in the past. The UWS used to be a much more tolerant and liberal bastion, but no more. People who buy pricey apartments don't have much tolerance for just about anything, or any one. So it looks like this summer the Crusties have come back home to the East Village, and they went straight into Tompkins Square Park.

The only difference between the crusties & the bros is how much money they have. Neither one has any interest in the neighborhood being maintained to a decent standard. For that, you need long-term residents (you know, the older people who everyone is always saying should either die or move to Ohio).<br /><br />And I have given up on expecting anything from the 9th precinct; I think when you phone a police precinct you should expect a human being to answer the phone, not have to go through the phone-tree-menu hell.
