...but NYC was still a world-class city, even when it had a horrible homicide rate and was on the brink of bankruptcy.
I guess, but thank's to Globalism, & Certainly International Trade, Politics in NYC have improved the same way the rest of the Cities in the West have, NYC just adapted to the new reality faster than other US Cities did, & it paid off, nobody likes Crime in their Cities in general, & NYC has worked hard (As a City), to b just like any other Western City or Capital in the Developed World, as for the rest of the US? Their mostly playing catch-up!
It's kind of similar to how California cities have very low crime rates, because of all the Japanese/Asian influence.
I guess, although it also depends on the California City as well, places like Bakersfield & Fresno for example I would not consider low crime though, rest of the State? Sure.
It is, but New York wasn't always a safe haven, but it has had the most dramatic transformation in crime that no other (large) American city has matched, and there are a multitude of reasons for that.
Philadelphia and especially Baltimore need to get their murder count in order, and Baltimore suffers from higher crime rates across the board, but the problems they face are more of the norm with American cities, New York is more of an outlier at this point regardless of world class status,
I guess, well put btw, also another reason Crime is dropping in NYC I think is the Population Growth.
^Easy for a City to see Crime Decrease when the Population growth is in the rear-view Mirror right? NYC is a Complete City, it's done everything it needs to do for a City, things can only go down from here, be it Population Growth I guess & Crime too? Yet despite it's Population growth being flat, the City & Metro somehow is still getting richer & richer.
It kinda resembled an aftermath of some type of war.
Haha yea, but Modern Day Baltimore & Chicago's Southside are still like that tho.
