A new survey conducted by New York\u2019s Metropolitan Transportation Authority found riders are more concerned about crime and harassment on trains and in stations now than they were six months ago. It also found that fear of crime is an impediment to people returning to the system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul Berger has this story<\/a> in the WSJ, with the finding above. The title of this post is the title of the story in the print edition.<\/p>\n

For decades, government has tried to get people to use public transportation more and private cars less. Such usage is better for the environment, better for our energy independence, and even better for the people who remains in their cars as it will reduce their congestion. As the pandemic subsides, this will once again be a major government goal.<\/p>\n

So how to do it? Well, for one thing, make people feels safe there. To do that, wake up to the reality that everything the “woke” say about law enforcement is wrong.<\/p>\n

Survey respondents who are currently avoiding the subway cited working from home and Covid-19 as the two main factors weighing on their willingness to return to public transit. More than one-third of former riders cited crime and harassment as a reason they are staying away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As those first two factors subside, the third will surely rise. The fear of being mugged, or even stabbed or pushed onto the tracks at random, is a major problem. Beyond that, though, people don’t want to ride in a system that is filthy or where they are constantly harassed.<\/p>\n

To deal with that, the powers that be will have to commit progressive heresy. They will have to acknowledge that Wilson and Kelling were right all those years ago. Order matters. Small crimes matter. We need to enforce quality-of-life laws along with the other laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
