How much time does AOC actually spend in her own district? Does she know what’s going on? Does she care?

Groups rallying against police crackdown on prostitution in AOC’s ‘Red Light’ district

A rally is taking place in “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district on Tuesday, when pro-migrant and pro-sex worker groups will call for police to stop clamping down on illegal prostitution and illegal vendors operating in the area.

A nearly two-mile stretch along Roosevelt Avenue in the migrant-heavy neighborhoods of Elmhurst, North Corona and Jackson Heights in Queens has become known as a “Red-Light” district — parts of which encompass Cortez’s 14th District, where those described as scantily dressed migrant prostitutes solicit sex during all hours of the day and night. Illegal street vendors clog the sidewalks to cook hot food in the open while other vendors push everything from used clothes to pots and pans or tools.

Some residents compare it to a “Third World” country and have repeatedly called for the city to take action on the ongoing crisis

Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams launched “Operation Restore Roosevelt,” which aims to crack down on miscreant behavior over the next 90 days and bring back law and order to the commercial strip.

However, the crackdown is being met with opposition by groups like Make the Road New York, an advocacy group for illegal and legal immigrants; DecrimNY, which seeks to decriminalize sex work; and Red Canary Song, which advocates for migrant massage workers and sex workers.

I wonder how many members of these groups actually live in the district, and especially in the area that’s essentially a Third World shithole?
