Alina Habba: "New York used to be one of the greatest cities in the country. And we will make it that way again. We will make it safe and we will allow tourism, we will allow people to drive to work, not have to take unsafe subways."

As someone who lives in L.A. I always laugh seeing clips like this. Most folks in these cities don’t feel this way at all, and, they often feel the exact *opposite.* Please stay away if you can’t enjoy these wonderful places.

This is true, I was going to go to Manhattan but ALL of the booking apps had pop ups telling me that no tourists were allowed so I booked for Cincinnati instead.

Personally I think restricting traffic in city centers is a good idea. But it needs careful thought and consideration. You need a campaign to explain the benefits and possible perks for curbing congestive traffic. There’s a better approach to this issue. One that would avoid all this controversy.

Some ppl, even ones born in nyc, are always scared to take subways, even when they were at their safest. It's weird. They're not scared of killing or getting killed on the roads - which is much more likely - they consider that God's will.

Fox News is a nazi PR channel, set up to create division and polarizing the US by blasting desinformation from the WH and president Musk, the Swasticar man. #banFox

First - her facts are wrong, crime is down. Second - the only way everyone is driving to work in NY is if Trump kills the economy so badly that there are only a few places to go to work (not efficient for everyone to drive - there is no infrastructure for this and would be impossible to build).

Yeah, increasing traffic in the city will lead to even more people taking the subway (most do anyway even with financial means to drive because it's much quicker)which will make the subways so much safer 🙄. MAGA love this since most of them have never left their own states and know nothing about NYC

if they make the city safer than wouldn’t it be safe again to ride on subways? if subways remain dangerous haven’t they failed to achieve their goal?

Man.. I just spent a week there with my little kid without ever setting foot in a car and had a blast. Thank you for letting me know we actually almost died and, uh, were not tourists or something?

I’ve been to NYC as tourist many times and it’s not the city Habba Dabba Do is describing. I take the subway all the time I’m there. Where are they going to park those cars she will “allow” people to work? Who are they to “allow” us to do anything? Go back to looking pretty, not smart.

Weird … NY is still the financial capital and tourist destination of the world, and survived Trump’s botched handling of the pandemic. What would make NYC great again is if we can get rid of that shit stain Trump Tower on 5th Ave it stinks like a strip club at closing time.

When I visited NY, I rode the subways all over the place. I never felt unsafe. On every ride, people gave me a seat if there wasn't one available. I couldn't imagine, as a tourist, having to drive myself around that city. The subways quickly get you everywhere.

Oh there she is, I was wondering where that winless criminal lawyer was. The rapist's personal windup side hustle. Pretty sure FFOTUS likes her better with her mouth full. 😂🤡🖕

Fox must be hard up to give her a voice, she is still auditioning to try to get a seat in KKKing DonOld's Court.. Prince Elmo would need to approve that move..

I was literally on the NYC subway twice this week. I’ve taken a bus from NJ (Hudson County) to NYC almost every working day since 2012. Alina Habba has no idea what she’s talking about. Only paranoid bigots hate public transport.

Could you imagine how unlivable, unenjoyable NYC would be without subways and commuter rail … where the gridlock of 8 million cars would extend to Tappan Zee and once you finally arrived you’d spend the rest of the day looking for a place to park?

The only joy in that clip is to mute the sound. I’m thinking tourism might suffer in general: planes ✈️ oops Bird 🦅 Flu, no thanks Visit a national park 🚗🚙🚌🚗🚎🚗l think not, especially if you get locked in the loo & DOGE has fired the only locksmith. 🤷🏼‍♀️

You will "allow tourism" in NYC? The place has always been crawling with tourists. And hotel prices have skyrocketed in recent years, yet somehow people keep coming.

lol yeah of one the most visited cities in the world has no tourists. I’m guessing this woman has no one who actually cares about her because if she did they’d have advised her to just stop talking because every word out of her mouth show how brain dead she is.

It's typical Trump World propaganda - they create their own "reality" with their lies and spin. And people believe them and are living in this fake alternate universe. It's so weird.

Meanwhile my 22-year old navigated the subway from Brooklyn into the city last night for dinner. She made her way to CT on the train for an interview today. Driving in NYC is already a nightmare…public transportation is the way to go for most people. Tourism is ever present in NYC! 😂

It depends on where you work and what hours. If you work in midtown or the financial district, you're out of your mind to try to drive there. I was a bartender in the Village for years, and worked nights, and although sometimes it could take a while to find a spot, I drove in.
