I've never been to New York, but that sounds a like like what New Yorkers used to do to cope with that city's crime back in the day.

Nice anedocte, happened this Sunday. Coming back to my bf house after we had dinner. Walking from the subway station to his apartment, in what is considered a nice upper middle class neighborhood. There is some loud noises, appears to be from some blocks away. I just look at him and without needing to say anything, he nods and says "yeah, sounds like gunshots."

And what did we do? Just continued walking, perhaps a little faster, but nothing more. You need to detach yourself from the absurdity of the situation to be able to live here.
