The city has changed so much since the beginning of the pandemic. There is bail reform, new homeless shelters, anti police sentiment etc.
The city council & DAs are also pro criminal.
Eric Adams is the democrat candidate that seems to be tough on crime yet one of his campaign volunteers was stabbed & has 50 prior arrests. Adams was also unpopular within the NYPD and has ties with sharpton and louis farrakhan.
It doesn't matter, NYC won't return to it's glory days. It will take another 30-40 years for the transplants to age and learn their mistakes with voting. It's not just a NYC problem, look at all the democrat stronghold cities that have high crime and no solution. Because they keep voting for the same party and the same rhetoric.
The easiest way to fix crime in NYC is not with NYPD, simply stop feeding the criminals. How does pest control fix a pest problem? You get rid of the cheese and then you exterminate them.
If Guiliani was able to rid the city of crime and make it very desireable and safe, and Bloomberg was also able to continue it, why the hell wasn't DeBlasio able to continue it?, and why did he allow the city to fall into such a terrible state?
Why???
Shame on him, there was no reason for this city to get to the point where it is today, shame on him!
and how does he not see this?
and Cuomo, is no better, he doesn't get a hall pass either.

These are red flags.
and why does a person with 50 prior arrests still walk the streets???
no, this should not be happening. I guess getting arrested has had zero effect on him what so ever at all.

Because the proven solutions that work to reduce crime ain't woke enough.
Bloomberg when he was running for POTUS had to apologize for being an effective tough on crime mayor. What a dope. He should be proud of what he did.
NYC will never vote R again, so you get what you vote for.
I'm glad I'm in the suburbs.

Simple. He's incompetent. He DESTROYED the relationship with the NYPD. They now have a hands-off policy. NOTHING he says he is able to follow through on. I don't know why he has all of those stupid note cards for that he is constantly scribbling on during press conferences because it's all for nothing. Everything is run half azzed, and don't think any other "progressive" mayor is going to come in and do any better. Streets are filthy. I went by block after block this morning where there was litter everywhere, and even saw people kicking cups into the street instead of putting them in the garbage. Just a mess.
The city got rid of crime when it introduced stop and frisk and caused criminals to stay off the streets. And Bloomberg opened up the city to privatization by selling many properties for development. Trump himself benefitted hugely from his developments on the Hudson. Gentrification was the greatest crime deterrent by forcing poor crime ridden neighborhoods to get gentrified. What deBlasio has done was maintaining the poor people by redistributing tax money and give these poor people permanent stay throughout the city. He also installed many shelters all around expensive areas.
Como of course signed the bail reform which gave criminals no penalty for crime. No slap on the wrist anymore, it makes absolutely no sense to give no punishment for any non-violent crimes now.
That's why so many brazen crimes are occurring because there's no's punishment. Everything is just a score card now.
