Crime has exploded in the New York district of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). 

Yet, the New York Post reports that, according to some local residents, Ocasio-Cortez "does not care," as she never seems to be around.

Instead, she is off taking trips on private jets to "fight the oligarchy." Reports indicate that the trips on the private jet cost $15,000 per hour.

And let's not bring up just how bad private jets are for the environment, at least according to the likes of Ocasio-Cortez and other climate change advocates.

Crime is up 70%

That's right. In Ocasio-Cortez's district, which includes the Bronx and Queens, crime is up astronomically.

Per the Post: 

Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows.

That's only the start of it.

The outlet continues:

The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period. Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft. The 115th Precinct, which also serves part of Roosevelt Avenue in addition to Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, and north Corona, saw major offenses rise by 85%.

Finally, the outlet reports, "The other four precincts in her Queens-Bronx congressional district similarly saw major-crime increases higher than the citywide average."

Where is AOC?

The Post went on to interview some local residents for its reports, and it is clear that they are not happy about Ocasio-Cortez's approach to the situation.

One resident told the outlet, "She’s not doing s***. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care."

The resident added, "I can’t wait to get – pardon my language – the f*** out of here. It makes me so sad that they’ve done that to push me out of my neighborhood. And I’m not the only one. . . . I could never have a family here."

One wonders how many other local residents agree with this resident. The fact of the matter is that, so far, Ocasio-Cortez has managed to continue to get voted back into Congress, despite the ongoing problems in her district.

The congresswoman, at the time of this writing, has not responded to the Post's report.
