I have no idea who this Murphy is, but
when I have driven through NJ on the way to NYC, and seen all the "if you see (fill in th3 blank), dial Police at etc etc" road signs, the profound feeling was of driving through Red Square or 1938 Berlin.
But, also know, hard to move from those areas, as wages likely far worse elsewhere, healthcare far more expensive, and to make a break for freedom could cost real monthly income a thousand, or even several thousand dollars. In NYC, comprehensive (vision, dental, health) healthcare with ZERO deductible and ZERO top end can run between $0-$21/mth for a retiree on SS. PLUS help for rent. Many cannot afford the hit, especially if family depending on them.
