Nothing drastic has happened in 8 years. In fact, during the 2001 season, there where about 41,000 cops on the streets and we're suppose to believe that 8 years later with thousands of less cops, that things are actually safer?
lol please.
I'm talking about 15+ years ago though, not really 8. I know there isn't that much of a difference between 8 years ago and now.

Now I dont live in the BX but it says on the "Official" stats that in 08 their were 132 homicides now personally I think that straight BS and I belive its more around the 4,5 a week ballpark but I could be wrong so SuperMario being you actually live in BX what do you think about 132 more, less, alot more, alot less? My guess for the year is 250.

Crime rates are more influenced by demographics than by number of police on the streets. Are there fewer young males in the Bronx now than there were in 2001?

New York City remains the safest big city thanks to the great politicians they've had. Bloomberg & Guiliiani drove New York City to a change, many say that they were corrupt politicians, but if corruption got them the safest big city in America and better than it has ever been in decades then corrupt the hell out of New York City!
but gentrification is killing the culture of ny IMHO. its a safe city but we're losing our character. again, just my opinion. ny in the 90's >>>>>>>>
i don't care for bloomberg either. having a billionaire as a mayor is not a good thing at all. how can he relate?
