The city council wants to push through another term limit change to give Mayor Spano and themselves more terms. This petition is to reject that decision and instead put this item on a ballot referendum next year. We have to act fast otherwise the council will pass this in a 4-3 vote next Monday Nov 21, 2022

While this is a real answer, it's also funny because the whole Nolan family is also indebted to the Spano's. He gives them jobs and he put Jimmy on the county legislature to replace the old legislator that was from Bronxville that he couldn't control.

Lol it’s a real answer.. I saw that too which is why I tried to offer what little I know about DPW. Nolan actually is one of the sanitation workers in my neighborhood, really friendly guy. He’s also super connected in the community but really accessible and down to earth. Might be worth visiting DPW offices on Nepperhan too.

Is this a joke or a real answer ? Cause as u can see above I haven’t had anyone give me a real answer yet besides saying the Spanos are crooks

Try contacting James Nolan. He works as a sanitation worker and is also a county legislator. He’s pretty responsive on social media, and seems like a down to earth guy. He might be able to point you in the right direction.

Dude our police don't even show up when you call them. When they show up three or four hours after an event happened they usually take little if any notes at all. They don't bother to report anything because it requires extra paperwork. Our mayor is the son of a former mob boss. Our politicians have rewritten the rule books so that they can now run indefinitely. Our police don't actually live in Yonkers. They use the addresses of their parents or grandparents who still live here. Italians make up 13% of the population but represent over 70% of the police. The politicians have literally bought off every single form of media so that no one can talk about the truth. Every politician that is currently running is in the pockets of the mayor. Yonkers is mostly safe during the day. At night time there are many neighborhoods that you shouldn't be outside in.

You can look up crime stats for any zip code on city-data.

Lots of change happening in Yonkers for the better! You will be fine in the area if you just be mindful of your surroundings. I grew up in that area and turned out just fine. During the summer months the guys like to gather on Warburton & Glenwood (Team Jadakiss) and another group on Warburton & Gold Street . No one gets out of hand with comments etc. and they are pretty protective of those who live in the immediate area. I’d check for an apartment in a private house north of Trevor Park , you might get a better bang for your buck. And figure out parking as it gets supper tough in the evening to find. Lots of nice places along the Hudson River as well. Best of luck .. DM if you have any additional questions.

That's pretty much the hood tbh, if you are driving to work you're fine. However walking home at a late hour down there is not recommended for a young woman.

Cmon man. Shouldn’t have to worry about anything? Somebody got shot in that exact neighborhood last week. OP I wouldn’t recommend moving into that part of YO.

How exactly are they calculating this?
edit: It's at the bottom, under methodology. Crime is only one of many metrics they used, such as natural disaster risk.
