First off, math. With less people in jail due to basically not enforcing crime, of course it will "cost more" per prisoner. The facility and personnel costs for NYC corrections won't change yet are spread out between less prisoners. What changes? Food? That's a minimal cost compared to the baked in expenditures that are not dependent upon X amount of prisoners.

If less people commit crime, should facility and personnel costs for NYPD change?

Yeah but at the same time "we're" so intuitive to know there's a problem, funny how that works
It isn’t intuition. It is a widely acknowledged fact that the costs are at all time highs and record breaking and is only escalating. It is also far and above the costs in other cities. There clearly is a problem. Just a google search reveals this:

Some could, but there's a huge difference between incarcerating people and providing the gamut of police services throughout the city.
Think in terms of a delivery service. If you longer hold packages at a facility, you don't need that facility. But if you are still moving them from point A to point B, you still need to support that portion of the industry.
The best way to save money on the police is to stop providing police services to areas that don't want them. Downsize and shift the remaining resources to the areas that want cops.

Someobdy's not going to get a paycheck off of that idea, what do you tell them?

NYPD cops retire at a rate that negates the need for layoffs. Simply don't replace whatever the number is that are serving in neighborhoods that hate cops. Problem solved.

I agree, let the people who have money pay for their private security anyway
