Reply to comment by Due_Masterpiece_3601 in I would like for us to discuss the future of this city by Due_Masterpiece_3601

This idea that the city was the horrible murder capital until Giuliani became mayor is such a farce that Eric Adams wouldn't even be able to sell it as swag. Crime in the U.S cities had already been on a downward spiral before 1994.

The crime seemed to drop right at the same time as stop and frisk. I wouldn't say it was a murder capital, but changes needed to be made and the city flourished.

Giuliani became mayor in 1994. Crime "seemed" versus actual data might be a bit more accurate don't you think? I honestly can sit here for the next three hours to show the data.
