All i know is that growing up in the late 70s and 80s i don't remember seeing many white transplant types. Then after Gulianni cleaned the city up in the late 90s, they started to flood in. Its ironic that a lot of these skinny pants pansies complain that the city has lost its edge, but if it was still edgy and crime ridden, their daddy would not finance them to live here.
This guy's SHALLOW *gawking* fascination with NYC in the 70s is irritating!
Another ridiculously general and vague questionS covering TWENTY FIVE years, of which most forum members were not alive, or were too young to be cognizant.
DC?? How would I know? Was I THERE???
You're from JERSEY, then what of Newarkand Jersey City? Weren't you THERE!!
Newark, NJ was considered a murder capital for a long time as well.
There is something "not quite right" when the same person keeps posting over and over again wanting to know how "bad" it was here during it's darkest days. It's almost like a "sickness".
I swear if I didn't know better, I would think the OP is sitting naked at the computer with a bottle of lotion getting ready to "get off" on all the gory details.
Ironic how during that period NYC was the entertainment capital of the world. So much creativity and culture grew from nyc during this time. Now that its "safe" nothing really is happening in NYC. Also thanks to shows like friends/sex & the city while both very entertaining, gave a false ideal about this city and now its bland and expensive.

But I could be wrong.
Yeah you're wrong. If anything you're doing it because you seemed to put so much thought into that. Coincidence much?

I agree. It was very bad. The most dangerous city from the 70s to the early 90s in my opinion.
Wait, I'm confused. Are you asking how bad NYC was during that period or are you stating as if you already know how bad NYC was?

It was no port-au-prince, Haiti.
