'It's good for us. You know, publicity,' said Jose Cruz, a longtime resident who climbs the 131 steps at West 167th Street daily. 'People don't have to be scared of the Bronx no more, the way they used to.

There must be at least 10,000 "Jose Cruzes" that live by those stairs.

While cacs are corny, sending out warnings to “stay away or get robbed” is even cornier

Not a damn thing gonna happen

Stairs are 5 min from Yankee Stadium.

Take the pic, and then cop a Judge or Jeter jersey.

The police station is nearby...

They good money as long as they dont go there at night

Those yankee stadium backblocks at night is tricky...plus the park over there so its easy to maneuver to the otha side

nothing is going to happen to them

and hell when i was in london i made my way to where shots of top boy were filmed

Black people ain't even thinking about them.

The media is just using this to paint black people as violent.

It was literally only one dude in a tweet that said they’d get robbed...

but fukk them... they about to gentrify tf out that neighborhood over some steps they didn’t give af about until last week

I'm saying. This is the kind of trash journalism that irks me.

It is all based on one tweet from one person who might not even be from the Bronx who said that people would be robbed...

And from that the narrative becomes that residents are going to be violent towards people coming, when the testimony of the locals totally contradicts this take

Disgusting.
