You don’t think it was ok during Bloomberg’s tenure? Aside from having to drink a small soda, I thought he maintained status quo from Guiliani for the most part.
Bloomberg weakened some of Giuliani's stricter police policies, but it was still good under Bloomberg. A bit worse, but not so you'd notice.
I hear things really worsened under DeBlasio, then went into full collapse during the Summer of Floyd. (But I've not been to NYC in nearly a decade, so I'm relying on others' reports.)
Didn’t notice. Was raising kids lived up state NY, and didn’t visit the city anymore.
