All of your condescension aside, statistics tell the entire story. Crime in NY was, for many decades, far worse than it is now. It sounds like you may have lived much of your time here during the brief period of all-time low crime during the late 2000's/early 2010's and are basing your comparison on that anomalous era.
- bradleyjg 4y agoI lived in nyc from the early oughts. Things got better and better and then started getting worse. Should I be overjoyed about that because they were even worse yet in the 70s and 80s? Is that what your oh so objective statistics tell me to think? How about we try to make things better instead of trying to sound smart by explaining that axtually this is not nearly as bad as the bubonic plague?
- freejazz 4y agoThese are just strawmen, you were the one that asserted things are a certain way now compared to the past, which is objectively not true, and was responded to accordingly. Now, after being called out for the lie, now you are asking "why can't we work towards a solution" - well, why didn't you say that in the first place?
