Description
There really are two New Yorks. There is the glitzy bright lights and money of Manhattan where a studio apartment might cost you a cool million. There are upscale neighborhoods in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx as well where a small house or brownstone will run in the millions as well. But then there are places like Mott Haven in the Bronx or Bedord Stuy in Brooklyn or Jamaica Queens or the Queensbridge projects or West Brighton on Staten Island.
While these places are a short ride away from the moneyed parts of NYC they might as well be a million miles away for their residents that have to deal with "pharmaceutical salesmen" on many of their corners and the NYPD's stop and frisk program that certainly is not employed in the financial district or midtown Manhattan. But if you are a youth and look suspicious, meaning like any other youth in your neighborhood, then you will need to submit every time a cop feels like seeing what you have in your pockets.
Perhaps it is time to create a single New York.
