Crime was relatively low in NYC until the current mayor screwed everything up.

It’s a world class city and while I have zero interest in living there it’s always a fun place to visit.

Actually it’s on par with the crime rate then, but did you take into account that in the 1930’s they were still suffering from the Great Depression?

Also, weird that during the period of “white flight”, crime rates grew exponentially. I wonder why?

I didn’t mention crime. I said it is safer now than it was then, which is true.

Pussies wonder behind anonymous names. Men tell it how it is. Go ahead. Show us what being a man is.

We all know what the word means. But I’m more interested in how you’re pussing out on....

So why did you act like you were ignorant of its meaning?

You are without a doubt my favorite lib. You are everything that is wrong with liberalism. And you respond so accordingly.

I said I would allow for the facts to speak for themselves.

What do the facts tell you?

That was awesome. There were some tall buildings that were torn down. I wonder how demolition was done back then?

The facts tell me you're dumb enough to believe correlation is causation.

Is that smog in the first shot of the video?

If so, that's a lot of smog.



You gotta take into account that a lot of powered things, such as most trains, heaters, generators, etc were powered by coal/steam back then. Coal-burning = smog galore.
