Original Note:
The statement “it’s not [because] shootings are up” is misleading because this is dependent upon the time frame. From the Bloomberg source article: “There were 639 shooting incidents in the city in the first six months of 2022, nearly double the same period in 2019.” https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-is-nyc-safe-crime-stat-reality/
