This is the sort of thing that makes me really want to just move out of NYC for good. They want to force you into the subway, but then they also refuse to lock up violent psychopaths who get arrested dozens of times a year for violent crimes in the subway system. It's a tax on people who value personal safety for themselves and their families, so they can shovel more money into the broken public transportation system that is never on time and which can't offer even basic safety to passengers.
