Summary

This episode explores the chaotic transformation of a two-mile stretch of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens into a hotspot of crime and prostitution, managed by the ruthless 18th Street gang. Residents, overwhelmed by the spike in crime, resort to pleading for federal intervention. The local government’s temporary crackdown results in a 37% crime drop, but the relief is short-lived. Community activists and local politicians, like Congresswoman AOC, clash over potential solutions, leading to heightened tensions and violent confrontations. Amidst this turmoil, real estate investors eye opportunities, anticipating the potential for future profits once order is restored. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
