Tbf most far and away are by people you know, so it’s dangerous to know people as well.
Still doesn’t mean the NYC subway being back to pre pandemic crime levels is “safe.”
Just because one thing is dangerous, doesn’t mean nothing else is, it isn’t mutually exclusive. Two (or even more than two) things can both be dangerous.
Good point about most sexual assault being committed by somebody the victim knows. The fear of stranger-rape is way overblown, just like the fear of the subway compared to the danger of driving. If the subway was safe before the pandemic (which it was), then bringing the rate back down to that level means it’s safe now (which it is).
