NYC crime wave continues with 21,000-plus shoplifting complaints for 2024 so far, all thanks to lefty Dems
Don’t believe pro-crime progressives when they lie about public safety here in NYC: This year so far has seen 21,578 shoplifting complaints from Gotham’s retailers. That’s a 5% increase over last year’s obscene 20,552; more than 41% of the 2024 crimes are concentrated in Manhattan. And that’s part of an ugly, persistent trend. Full-year numbers since 2021 have jumped from 43,892 to 59,137, an increase of almost 35% — and the real problem is surely far higher, as exhausted merchants don’t bother to report many incidents.

Out-of-this-world NYC skyscraper aims to hang from an asteroid
Ever wonder what a building would look like hanging over Manhattan — because it drapes down over the city from outer space? An architecture firm has formally drafted renderings for the unusual concept. The firm Clouds Architecture Office has fully imagined a particularly pie-in-the-sky development plan, namely to hang a skyscraper upside-down from an asteroid so that it hovers over New York City. “Analemma Tower is a proposal for the world’s tallest building ever,” reads a description of the otherworldly structure on Clouds’ website. “Harnessing the power of planetary design thinking, it taps into the desire for extreme height, seclusion and constant...
NYC Museum of Natural History under fire for shuttering Native American exhibit — then abandoning it to gather dust
The American Museum of Natural History’s shuttered Native American exhibits are simply gathering dust four months after being shut — and tribal groups say it is “stonewalling” over repatriating precious objects. In January the Manhattan museum’s new director, Sean Decatur, shuttered the Eastern Woodlands and Great Plains exhibit halls that displayed artifacts from its Native American collections. At the time the museum said it acted to comply with new federal regulations giving museums five years to comply with a 1990 law which ordered institutions to hand back human remains, sacred objects and cultural items to native groups. The displays, which stretched over...
