Rudy became mayor in ‘93. Law and order. NY was a pretty good place to be. Yes it’s who they are ‘governed’ by.

governed by the people they voted for ... universal suffrage is a complete failure ...

I worked in Manhattan from 1995-1998. It was pretty nice back then. On my walk from Penn Station to the office (across the street from Madison Square Park, and later up at Rockefeller Center) I’d see at least two NYPD cops at every single intersection. Garbage cans were never overflowing, and the streets in general were clean and nearly free of litter.

I don’t even think about going into the city anymore. Not so much because it’s so much less safe (though that is true), but because it is just unpleasant.
