That’s why any Democrat-led city is hopeless. It takes someone like a Giuliani to clean up a place like NYC. Dinkins let it become so nasty that even Dems were clamoring for law and order. I think Adams is close.
Its a cycle...
Democratic strongholds run their places into the ground... eventually it gets so bad they elect a Republican... they come in and clean it up... and once things are reasonably stable.. they go back to voting Democrats who run it back into the ground....
Can’t fix stupid.
