Bloomberg continues to let the city streets slip back into the pre-Giuliani mess. He's welcomed back the homeless, panhandlers and psychos into the subways who are now intimidating and attacking passengers as if Dinkins was mayor again. And now Bloomberg has invited the prostitutes back to the Hell's Kitchen streets. Longtime city residents are starting to talk about Bloomberg's neglect of street crime. This is just another example.

"Bloomberg continues to let the city streets slip back into the pre-Giuliani mess. "

Yup.
Took a lot of hard work, and grit for Giuliani to clean up New York.
Would be a shame if Bloomberg let's things slip back to the hell they were before.
Time for Bloomberg to wake up and smell the coffee.

I do not defend bloomie but there are two realities at work here that make LE harder now in NYC than itwasunder Rudy...

1) The NYPD budget is now much heavier on WOT related issues and this leaves less $$ and fewer POs for quality of life policing.

2) Rudy's plan of zero tolerance led to thousands of arrests of criminals who had jumped bail, violated parole or were wanted on warrants for crimes more serious than the turnstile junmping that they were stopped for. This led to putting much of the criminal flotsam away.....but not forever. They are back, having served their time and the system can't send them up again until they commit another felony.

We should just legalize prostitution and let them operate in a designated area like they do in Nevada.

My Irish ancestors lived in Hell's Kitchen for nearly 100 years, I had hoped to go there this summer to see if the old tenements where they lived were still standing. Too bad Bloomberg is slacking on what Guliani had fixed.

I didn't hear Giuliani pass the buck on NYC crime to the rest of the country for their gun laws.

Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen.
Homo sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself.

Several shocked newcomers to the area - including some young families dishing out up to $3,000 a month in rent - said realtors had assured them that the neighborhood was "up and coming."

Must.......resist......

[tkathy]

Just proves what a powerhouse leader Guiliani would make against the WOT.

Interesting headline - I though 'Hooker Hell' might be about stds, the inherent dangers of the lifestyle, or the vacant shells of a life that such work creates. But nope, it's about whores finding a place to live.

Bloomberg's city is going down the tubes. Just within the last few weeks a young man, with his girlfriend, is sitting on a subway when he is stabbed repeatedly. Last week a 64 year old postal worker is cut up by a wacko with a chain saw. This incident also happened in a subway and was witnessed by subway workers who did not come to the man's aid. The victims were white while the assailants were minorities. Bloomberg is too concerned about hand guns and opening the floodgates to illegals to give a damn about NYC citizens.

Thanks for the tip!

"As feminists and evangelicals both understand, no president wants to find himself in the position of granting an exemption to a country found guilty of turning a blind eye to trafficking in women and children."

Maybe Hillary knows something but she ain't saying much, "and you know what I'm talkin' 'bout girl." Maybe she knows some of her sisters who went to Jamaica to "get their groove back."

"Women enjoy casual sex and prostitution, too, but with far more hypocrisy. They help themselves to men in the developing world, kidding themselves that it's a 'holiday romance' that has nothing to do with the money they spend. Go to any Jamaican beach and you'll find handsome 'rent-a-dreads', who get by servicing Western women - lots from Britain. I've seen similar things in Goa."

Bloomingidiot is too busy worrying about whether or not other states have the freedom to carry firearms to be worried about something so insignificant as street crime in NY City.

[jpl]

Man, I would really hate to see New York go back to the hellhole days. It was so much nicer when Rudy got it under control.

[OldFriend]

You have it so right. NY is slipping back to Dinkins Time.

Graffiti all over the subways, hookers, panhandlers, and my guess is that the squeegie guys are not far behind.

Blooming-idiot and his guy Kelly are not about to disturb the city's street people.
