Do the last 10 years.

Progressives ran these places in the 70’s and 80’s and they went moderate in the 90’s and 00’s mainly. Progressive last 10 or so years and they’re dying again.

Evidence? Show the different policies and prove they are the cause because the numbers show a decrease in crime.

We also just had covid and are currently in an economic crisis. Why wouldn't this have more effect on crime

I know this thread is old but I can't help pointing out that Guliani ran nyc until 2001.

Rudolph W. Giuliani 1994-2001

Shouldn't the crime rate in 2000 be lower than today? He wasn't a progressive, he followed the broken window theory, cracked down on small crimes, blah blah evidence.

You think crime is bad in nyc because of a campaign by Republicans/conservatives to make cities look bad combined with an actual recent hike in crime probably due to Covid causing layoffs in the service sector and now inflation
