It's already worked on you, and it's never going to work on me. That's where we are.
Thank you so much!
Great post potlatch!
Let's see if I can find the Perotista's candidate now.....

Beautiful post devolve! We need to find some "anti" songs for her, lol.
Lol, I forgot to put the music url in the Rudy image link!!
It's in the musical notes gifs.
Darling post, send in the clowns is appropriate, lol.
Was there an error in the census?
Good grief.
Examining a longer time series (from Appendix table 1 of
http://samoa.istat.it/Eventi/sicurezza/relazioni/Langan_rel.pdf ) ...
the decline of the city started during the tenure of John V. Lindsay and accelerated during the tenure of Abe Beame.
Koch could be said to have stabilized the situation. To be specific, population continued to fall during his first term, and then rebounded to where it was when he took office by the time he left office.
Then there was Dinkins, and the malaise had become perceptible.
Following Dinkins was Guiliani and, very clearly, New York only recovered after Guiliani took office.
The referenced article looks very hard at the FBI crime statistics that are often cited, and asks if the dramatic reduction of crime in New York during Mayor Guiliani's tenure can be verified by independent information.
They look at medical examiner's records of homicides, for example, in addition to the police records on which the FBI crime statistics are based; and, on crimes reported in surveys of the population again in addition to those in the police records.
(It is well known that policie records in many cities understate the amount of crime because of the under-reporting of crime.)
And, yes, the dramatic reduction of crime is verified by independent information.
I could go into the actual record of income and of property values. New York City under Mayor Guiliani did indeed do very well relative to its prior history and relative to the nationwide trends at the time.
Tell me about it. You claim a population drop of one million under Dinkins, a population recovery of one million under Rudy (when census data shows the largest drop of 800,000 in the 70s and 600,000 gain in the 90s), then you back it up with a 23 page PDF of crime data that I never disputed.
Got anything that backs up your original point?
you win
YIKES!!!
ROFLMAO! That one is funny.
Good graphic of Hillary Phil, and hey - she's got a heart! It's hanging around her neck!!
I don't think the intention was to compare it to anything else - like putting man on the moon, or developing the atomic bomb. these are after all, comments about government and politics.
yes, slowly but surely, they were making those moves. and with that, the tax base goes with them. manhattan is a great place - when you can actually go outside and go to a restaurant, without fear of being killed.
plenty of new leases were signed under Rudy - you think all those new office buildings are empty? "returns" are less important then whether newly created companies, expand or locate in the city to start with.
I know you’ve since been banned, but I have to say...you must be very unaware of how hard Hunter fought against COSCO.
