New York: City That Never Sleeps...or Lives?
New York City, the concrete jungle where dreams are made (and sometimes shattered), is a place of endless possibilities. But let's be real, it’s also a place where the occasional body drops. So, how many people decided to cash in their chips in the city that never sleeps last year?
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Well, brace yourselves, folks. According to the NYPD, there were 380 homicides in 2023. That’s a slight decrease from the previous year. So, while it's still not ideal, it's definitely heading in the right direction.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
Is That a Lot or a Little?
Now, 380 might sound like a big number, but let's put it into perspective. New York City has over 8 million people. So, statistically speaking, your chances of becoming a murder victim are about as high as winning the lottery (but with way less champagne and way more crime scene tape).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
