There are likely a couple of thousand soldiers in the National Guard units in NYC and the surrounding counties fist fighting each other right now for a spot on this. State Active Duty for over 30 days comes with Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) based on the zip code of your home of record. The current rate for a NYC residence in my old zip code is over $3600/month without dependents and over $4400/month with dependents. That’s on top of base pay.

When Alvin Bragg brings charges against them for the next George Floyd experience, will there be an actual insurrection?
Will they even be allowed to carry arms?
Did NYC decide stop-and-frisk was ok again? Or just on the subway?
Guardsman: Sir I need to see inside your bags.
Based Citizen: Um, under what authority? I'm using public transportation on my way to work... whatcha got for PC or RAS?
I'm certain this will all go well. //#DoubleSarc

Relatively permanent and highly organized center of population, of greater size or importance than a town or village.
Of course there are places labeled a city that are far from it, like Benson Arizona with a population of under 5000. They may call themselves a city, but come on it’s a town.
The same way most of us know what a woman is, we know what a city is.
I've been to at San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle in the last year. Granted just a few blocks sampling of each so limited exposure.
San Francisco seemed about the same as I remember in various visits since the '90's. Your basic urban center for good or for ill.
San Diego had a serious homeless issue. Oddly mostly not visible in the day but zombie land after sunset.
Seattle had a small, but nasty, visible homeless population to include a gentleman publically shitting in front of a downtown storefront and two separate instances of folks publically and openly smoking something or other out of tin foil.
no one sees what's written on the spine of his own autobiography.
I’m guessing they’ll be armed with handguns like the guys who had a similar gig when I was still in. While NYPD’s misuse of Terry stops and frisks was slapped down a few years back, they’re still searching bags in subway stations. Eventually that will get squashed but I don’t expect it to be any time soon.

I was an MP in the NY ARNG. There were guys on State Active Duty Orders for most of the time I was in, though I was from upstate and never dis the job. They carried G17s, which I found odd.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're more or less there for looks, and extra bodies for sworn police. While not SAD, I did do some stuff with police. They developed PC, they made arrests. I was there purely in an officer safety type role during arrests.

Thanks for chiming in, @WobblyPossum and @Cory. There’s a lot of misinformation about this kind of thing.
I used to take the subway to elementary school in the 3rd grade in Brooklyn. How times have changed. Everyday to work at the NYSE when in high school for a job in the summers. Mom used to take me shopping in the fancy stores like Bloomy's when I was a kid.

City near me has population of >250k. Violent crime rate is 75% below FL average for cities. Six homicides in 2023. Not a shithole. In fact, there is nowhere in the city I would not go. The city north of me has a population of around 50K, and a friend who lives there hears gunshots nightly. There are parts of that city I will not enter in daylight, and I steer clear of most of the rest of it.
