It's nice now, mostly.
It ain't perfect, but they are all pretty much coexisting. 99% of the riff Raff that does occur is personal, so if you're not involved you have no worries.
None of those trap door spots anymore. I have stories for days about those tho, east Harlem and the bronx. We had slot machines in the bodega attached to my building that would give you a choice between a $3, $5 or $20 bag of whatever just flew in from Jamaica back in the shower pose days.
In East Harlem that all transitioned into secret door to door "party favor" services in the early 2000's and now it's kinda weird. Since the white folks moved in the cops stopped harassing as much so drugs feel more prevalent and open again minus the crack. Just a lot less violence because everybody is the plug these days.
