**Chaos**
In Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's New York City district, residents are confronting an alarming rise in open prostitution, raising serious questions about local leadership and public safety.
Roosevelt Avenue, once a thriving commercial strip, has devolved into a veritable red-light district, where migrants openly solicit clients and pimps roam the streets, striking fear into the hearts of local business owners.
Concerns are mounting as shopkeepers report being threatened for speaking out against the rampant lawlessness overtaking their neighborhood.
A recently aired Fox News report captured the stark reality: as many as 19 alleged sex workers were observed on just one block, with children walking to school exposed to such brazen activities.
Local activists, like Ramses Frías, have voiced their outrage, likening the deteriorating conditions to “Bangkok with women outside locations pulling men off the street.”
Frías, a lifelong resident, emphasized that the community, heavily reliant on family values and a safe environment for children, is being placed in jeopardy due to an inattention from their elected officials.
Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels and a frequent critic of the current administration, blamed the worsening conditions on a failure to enforce existing laws. He stated that the problems escalated after prostitution was pushed out of nearby Flushing.
Despite recent raids by the NYPD, which resulted in a few arrests, the situation persists. Sliwa and Frías accuse city leaders, including Mayor Eric Adams, of negligence, particularly as Ocasio-Cortez remains conspicuously absent from the discussion.
Community frustration is palpable, with local residents planning a rally to demand action from their elected officials, particularly to hold Ocasio-Cortez accountable for her silence while her constituents suffer.
Even as state officials express their concerns, this ongoing crisis underscores a growing need for a robust public safety strategy in districts that have seen a surge in crime and disorder.
As current leadership appears paralyzed by indecision and lacking proactive measures, residents are left yearning for a return to order and accountability.
The crisis on Roosevelt Avenue serves as a clarion call for change in how urban governance prioritizes the safety and security of its community members.
