LOL this was the state of affairs NY was in the late 80's and early 90's. Anyone old enough to remember should recall that the term "New York" was synonymous with crime, decay and seediness back then. The image you get when you hear someone say "Detroit" today was similar to how New York was perceived back in the late 80's and early 90's.
Then they elected a Republican for the first time since the 60's, and he (Guliani) turned that city around 180 degrees. He stomped down crime, brought tourism back and made NY a world class city again.
Then they elected a democrat again back in 2014. And since then, the city has slid back into being the shithole it was back before Guliani saved it. I mean the guy who's running NY right now is the same guy that raised this fucking creature, so of course its falling apart.
If anyone wants to see what New York City used to look like in the dark ages, watch Taxi Driver. As that was actually filmed in New York in 1975 and they show you all the seedy aspects of the city.
NYC is in decline because there's no real incentive to live there anymore. You can't enjoy all the culture that New York has to offer because of COVID. White collar workers can work from home. Housing and rent is expensive in New York. Crime is up. Taxes are high in New York, especially NYC which has it's own city income tax. The wealthy are the most mobile people so no shit they are going to leave. The poor who can't afford a UHAUL (moving is expensive) or who don't want to break their 1-2 year lease are stuck there.
Yeah I just singled out the laste 80s/early 90's because that was just before the Republicans took over and fixed the city.
