The Broadway of the Bronx remains in a state of disarray with visible garbage, drug use, and public indecency persisting more than a year after initial reports. Residents express deep concern over the conditions, with some avoiding the area entirely. Reports indicate a high number of drug overdoses weekly, contributing to a sense of crisis. Local officials highlight the failure of the city to provide effective solutions, emphasizing a cycle of temporary fixes that do not address the underlying issues of the drug epidemic.
"They pee and they poop over there. They're around my store, the exit area. Every day I have to clean around there. If they don't see anybody they poop on the escalator."
"The City of New York has fundamentally failed to deliver a durable solution to a crisis that continues to spiral out of control. The city's response has amounted to little more than a game of whack-a-mole."
