Stop living in the past.
I'm surprised you aren't bringing the sale of Manhattan Island.

But, I will play along.
The war on crime in NYC actually started under Dinkins, a democrat.
Giuliani upped the ante and put it on steroids.

As a result, crime in NYC dropped to almost zero and it was recognized as the
safest large city on earth.

Enter Bloomberg who fliiped from democrat to republican to whatever and he
for the most part left things alone and didn't cause any damage.

Now along comes DeBlasio and his simian like wife.
He undid the Guliani polices, went soft on crime via Soros funded AG
and went far left with bail reform, revolving door justice and so forth.

So what happened?

The NYC turned to shit.
Much worse than in the early 70's.

And BTW, you cannot pull up stats to prove your point because back then
there were not massive numbers of felonies being downgraded to misdemeanors
like happens today in order to skew the stats.

I grew up in NYC and it was never this bad.
Illegals all over the place.
The smell of weed, urine and feces in the air.
Crime is insane.

Much of it is being ignored by the MSM but if you do some basic research you
will see that democrat leadership has destroyed NYC.
