Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who famously grew up in Bronx, remembered avoiding the steps growing up. “Everyone would tell us to stay away from those steps or go with a friend. The Bronx is much safer now and I’m happy to say that,” she told TMZ. She added, though, that a lot of Bronx natives felt territorial over the now-trendy steps. “I think the way a lot of us feel is, listen, like, keep your Instagram posts outside of the Boogie Down. This is for us.”
