i'm surprised all those people on cd from houston and atlanta aren't adding their input on this, since apparently they've most of them have lived in nyc before lol.

Well, crime has gone WAY down over the years. 15+ years ago, I would never have been able to commute home tonight after parent-teachers conferences at 7:30--through the south Bronx and Harlem. I would have been harassed by crackheads and possibly mugged.
I've heard more people died in the late 80s/early 90s crime wave than did in 9/11 in New York!

Exactly. There are alot less "no go zones" then there used to be for sure.

It has gone now but I dont believe to the extent the stats show. Visually the Bronx looks the same as it did in 2001. In fact, I see more drug dealers, vagrants, and gang members on the streets now. And yet instead of 650 homicides +, the X is now just touching 500?
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.
