The article discusses the alarming increase in major crimes in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx and Queens district, which has risen 70% since she took office in 2019. This surge is notably higher than the 30% citywide increase. Precincts like the 110th saw a dramatic 105% spike in major crimes, significantly impacting residents who feel abandoned by their representative. Community members voice their concerns over rising lawlessness, attributing the issues to Ocasio-Cortezâs lack of engagement and presence in the area. They express frustration and fear for their safety amidst deteriorating conditions.
Alvarez, 34, a former AOC supporter, has had to endure a brothel setting up across the street from her childhood home, and the drunken men she says constantly swarm in and out of the place.
She used to dream of building a life in the neighborhood, but not anymore. 'I can't wait to get - pardon my language - the f-k out of here.'
Some residents blamed the increasingly lawlessness squarely on the no-show lawmaker.'She's not doing s-t. She doesn't live in the neighborhood, she doesn't care,' vented Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez.
Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx and Queens district since the 'defund the police' socialist lawmaker took office in 2019.
