Agnostic Front I miss the old New York

As a fan of both AF and NYC I had to get this shirt ;-)
AF made a video to the song "Old New York". Check it out here:

I wasn´t born in NYC, so I have a slightly different point of view when it comes to modern NYC the AF express in this song. As a frequent visitor, I like that the city is safer then it was in the 70s ans 80s. I mean if I had to choose between taking a walk down 8th Ave today or i the 80s I have to say "Today wins!". ;-))))))))))
On the other hand: My first visit to NYC was 2008. The skyline changed in the last 6 years and it contimues to do so, with all the super-slim residential glass and steel towers for the super rich emerging untill 2018/2019.....
Is gentrification the price you have to pay for safetly?

Well, don´t listen to me....I´m just a tourist. ;-)
Respect for everybody with a"normal" job trying to make a living in NYC
