We want to have a clean environment, meaning cuts in sanitation within prominent lower-income neighborhoods should not be acceptable.
We want to not be pursued extensively for MTA fare evasion, as there are bigger issues within the boroughs than corporate loss for a monopoly.
We want the right to feel free at night in all parts of NYC.
We want our homeless population to decrease, not increase.
We want no hostile architecture.
We want our neighborhoods not to continue undergoing gentrification.
We want our homes and rents to not continue rising astronomically.
We want better street maintenance, specifically its night lights and missing pedestrian light crossing signs in lower-income neighborhoods.
We want more parks for recreational purposes without them being heavily polluted or having bad air quality.
We want our police force to be for us, not against us.

I definitely agree with your 4th point about homelessness I think that that is a huge problem right now in New York yet it doesn’t seem like anything is really being done about it. I haven’t heard any plans by the city to resolve this issue and if nothing is done then things will only get worse.
All your points are issues that are prominent in New York City. I heavily relate to your 3rd point. As a woman, I rarely go out when the sun sets because I feel it is really unsafe at night. It would be nice if people, especially women, didn’t have to be afraid to go out at night. I feel your last point is very impactful. Sometimes the police force seems to view themselves as above the law, which is very hurtful to civilians.
Points #4 and #5 are connected as hostile architecture was created to stop the homeless from occupying things that everyone has the right to. Really shows how flawed the system really is, instead of going to the root cause of homelessness in NYC, they chose to patch it in this direction. Shameful.
I agree with point number 6, we’re told we get new buildings and businesses in order to make the neighborhood better, but in reality it just pushes out those who were previously living there and that isn’t fair towards them.
