10+ mon, 1+ week ago (398+ words) NEW YORK (WABC) -- "Generals lead from the front," New York City Mayor Eric Adams told officers deploying into the subway system at the start of the second night of the NYPD's new effort to curb transit crime: two officers on every train during overnight hours. The mayor told some of the 100 officers riding the rails that he was once in their shoes. "The subway system was a different place," he said. "Many of you don't even realize what it was like back then." Decades later, the subways are much safer, but the mayor said the perception of lack of safety is still a concern. "We know that people not only must be safe, they must feel safe," he said. In the past month, major crime on the subways is down 35%, and down 40% in the past week, but anxiety underground is…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago (417+ words) LOS ANGELES -- Monday marks six months since the Eaton and Palisades fires in Los Angeles, some of the most devastating wildfires in California history, but those communities are already showing signs of healing. The Palisades Fire burned more than 23,000 acres and destroyed 7,000 structures in the Pacific Palisades area. Twelve people were killed. The Los Angeles Fire Department lifted the final orders last month and a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway that was shut down by the fire is back open. Now, the area is transitioning from a disaster zone to a massive construction site as the community begins to rebuild. Nearly 80% of all residential properties in the city of L.A. that were destroyed by the flames have been fully cleared of debris. Mayor Karen Bass says debris removal is ahead of schedule. So far, the city has approved nearly one-third…...
