I disagree on point #2.

Even though the City has regressed, in terms of quality of life, since the Giuliani Era, it's still the safest city in the country.

There was actually a reduction in crime during the 2003 blackout.

Thanks, my FRiend, and I'm hoping you are completely correct.

Following the storm (and lack of crime outbreaks) I'm prepared to cheerfully admit an error in doubting the collective character among the Big Appelonian Peeps.
