If this sounds like a great city to be in, you need help. My only relief is getting on the bus back home in the evening.
8-9 ave has always been sketchy.

Mental illness is way over prescribed in the US. Hence we let them just roam the streets.

I know you are being facetious but no one claimed that the past were great. The difference between then and now is that things were improving during Giuliani days while these days, we are going in the other direction.

You mean like those threads in the early and mid 2010’s where someone warned about increasing NYC crime and you mocked them because you said things were bad in the 70-90’s and they were just being alarmists?

Hindsight now with the city backsliding kinda proves them right and you wrong.

Well yeah, history is repeating itself. DeBlasio was Lindsay, Adams will be Dinkins, the Marxists will start bombing sh*t again when the Republicans sweep the 2024 election, crime will spiral again and in a couple decades if anyone still has any sense a new Guiliani will be elected to clean up the mess
