Really? What signs do you see in NYC of heading back to those days? I live pretty fearlessly in most places, and I used to take the subway late, late at night all the time. The only dangerous places are really some parts of the Bronx.
- evgen 16y agoFWIW, this recent recession is currently considered an anomaly because crime rates did not go up. When the economy slowed down everyone braced for a spike in the various crime rates that seems to inevitably follow such an event, and they waited...and waited...
- chipsy 16y agoSome of this could be attributed to having much better opiates for the masses these days. A phone, a game console, or an old Internet-capable computer can all provide a near-limitless, cheap, side-effect-less escape. This wasn't the case in 1990 - the technologies were there but not mature and widespread.

- sudonim 16y agoI have a friend who is a petite white girl with blonde hair. She lives in the bronx and takes the subway home late at night. When I asked her about feeling unsafe, she said that no one harasses her and she hasn't been mugged.
