Neuman by confirming that he doesn\u2019t give a damn about rising crime and disorder. His claim that there will be \u201ca natural outcome\u201d to the \u201cparticular issues\u201d in Washington Square Park is the political version of \u201cWhat, Me Worry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Violence, mayhem, filth \u2014 it\u2019s no big deal to him. But as one longtime resident of the area told the Post: \u201cProblems tend not to solve themselves naturally, and you have to do something about them \u2014 especially when you\u2019re the mayor of New York.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That is obvious to most sentient souls, but Mayor Putz is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently not among them. If he showed concern, he would then be obligated to act. So to keep responsibility far from his door, he insists the chaos and danger are routine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If there is any silver lining in such madness, it\u2019s that the conditions in the famed park are exploding just as the mayoral primaries enter the final week. With surging crime and growing public chaos already ranking at the top of voters\u2019 concerns, it becomes more urgent by the day that New Yorkers make the right choice to replace the term-limited de Blasio.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another four or eight years of someone as incompetent and feckless as he is would leave the city damaged beyond recognition \u2014 and maybe beyond saving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet it\u2019s also true that many New Yorkers are unaware of just how much and how fast the city has declined. They probably also have little idea what the unchecked spread of lawlessness would mean for them, their families and neighborhoods.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there is an easy, quick way for them to get up to speed on both the big picture and on a neighborhood level. A <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of short films is being released that perfectly capture what\u2019s happening all around the five boroughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Called \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt14706740\/\">This is New York<\/a>,\u201d the series consists so far of four documentaries, each focusing on a specific issue.

The first was on crime, the second on the quality of life and the third on school choice, meaning charters. The fourth, on parks, was released Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re a hit among YouTube viewers, especially the quality-of-life piece, and have sparked discussions on Facebook and other social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"People hanging out in Washington Square park in the West Villiage of Manhattan after the midnight curfew. 4 Police show up to tell people the park was closed.\" class=\"wp-image-18536101 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/061321PARK4WM.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/061321PARK4WM.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/061321PARK4WM.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/061321PARK4WM.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/061321PARK4WM.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Police telling people hanging out in Washington Square Park after the midnight curfew that the park was closed.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">William Miller<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One reason is that there\u2019s nary a politician to be seen. Ray Kelly and Joel Klein, the former police commissioner and former chancellor, make appearances, but most of the talking is done by ordinary New Yorkers who share their experiences about what is happening to them and their neighbors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people who speak the best are the citizens themselves,\u201d Matthew Taylor said to me Tuesday. An experienced filmmaker, he shot more than 78 hours of video, featuring what he called the \u201cforgotten New Yorkers\u201d in places such as Brownsville, the South Bronx and Staten Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taylor, who did a feature documentary on Marcel Duchamp called \u201cThe Art of the Possible,\u201d makes clear his city project is not political and has no connection to any candidate of either party.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are strictly documentaries about the state of the city after the pandemic and about the universal topics that matter to everybody,\u201d he said. \u201cNobody wants to get pushed in front of the subway or mugged.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Larry Mone, former head of the Manhattan Institute, first approached Taylor about a two-hour, nonpartisan film on how New York has been changing. Eventually they decided the subject would be more accessible to more people in smaller bites, and the shorter pieces followed. (I had a chat with the Taylors about the project in March.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Roger Hertog, a former chairman of the Manhattan Institute, helped solicit financial support. He said nearly $500,000 has been raised, with the largest donation being $30,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The just-the-facts nature of the shorts gives them a credibility that transcends any candidate or platform while conveying a sense of urgency. The tight focus and direct citizen comments, without seeing or hearing questioners or cameras, enable viewers to cut to the heart of each issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the crime piece, one man offers the blunt warning that the thugs willing to attack the police \u201cdon\u2019t give a damn about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the quality-of-life piece, a Chinatown father calls \u201ccrime and homelessness\u201d in his area \u201coutrageous\u201d while another bemoans the three D\u2019s: \u201cDecay, despair, denial.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Adams then walked and shook hands, snapped pix with local residents and business owners along 44th street and 5th avenue in the heart of Sunset Park Brooklyn\" class=\"wp-image-18536112 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/mayor.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/mayor.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/mayor.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/mayor.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/mayor.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Eric Adams walked, shook hands, and snapped picture with local residents and business owners along 44th Street and 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Paul Martinka<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A softer, more hopeful touch comes in the school-choice chapter via parents in a playground whose children are enrolled in charter schools. One woman with a distinct West Indian accent declares the public system \u201cbroken, where anything goes.\u201d Another says \u201cSuccess Academy saved my son\u2019s life and saved my life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The camera follows a black father and his daughter in the playground expressing their enthusiastic support for charters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The films are captivating and add another wrinkle to what is shaping up as an unpredictable primary among Democrats. Turnout for mayoral primaries has been declining for years \u2014 just 22 percent in 2013, the last one without an incumbent \u2014 and early-voting totals have been meager.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, this is the first time local primaries are being held in June instead of September. And the ranked-choice voting system, also in use for the first time, further clouds crystal balls and renders poll results less definitive than usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amid the social turmoil and pandemic hangover, the one good sign is that a plurality of voters consistently tell pollsters they want a mayor who will tackle crime and disorder. If they actually vote that way, New York will have earned a chance to resurrect itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Israel_Joe_%E2%80%98ties_that_blind_NYT\"><\/span>Israel, Joe \u2018ties\u2019 that blind NYT\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can twist a lot in a single word, as The New York Times does in this front-page headline: \u201cAs Israel Shifts, Biden Has Chance at Stronger Ties\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stronger?
