It’d be great if we were mature enough as a society to have a nice chat about why there is so much suffering and crime in American cities but alas.

- ProjectArcturis 3y agoIs there really that much? NYC murder rates are down 80% from their peak in 1990. We're roughly at 1950s rates.
- gregjor 3y agoMaybe true but NYC didn’t need this level of policing in the subways in the 1950s. We could ask why this happens in NYC and other US cities but not in Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, or Paris. In years of using mass transit in Asia I have not once witnessed the kind of conflict I’ve seen in NYC and SF every day.
