It is the circle of life. Conservative-leaning (regardless of actual party affiliation) pro business and individualistic success leaders make a city great. Once it is great, the good times allow the idealistically liberal minded people the opportunity to come in and try to implement their pie-in-the sky utopia totally devoid of reality because there are no major problems to combat. In trying to implement their fantasy-land that never accounts for basic human nature the city falls apart...which then requires a strong conservative minded person to come in an clean up the mess once more. Rinse and repeat.

NYC in 1970's - crime riddled and on the verge of bankruptcy

NYC in 1980's - beginning to rebuild with a mayor who billed himself as a "liberal with sense".

NYC in 1990's - what once was a decrepit dump starts to flourish once more as the "city on the hill"

That momentum kept going post 9-11. But in the 2010's the liberal alternate reality mindset took charge and started the downhill spiral once again. Thus, the city will have to "burn" before it can be rebuilt once more.

Unfortunately, our populace has never had much of an appetite for history and trying to learn from it. Every new generation thinks they are right...until history proves them otherwise.
