I lived in Manhattan for 25 years and left 4 years ago and still go back regularly on business. You are not telling the truth about the decline that is going on.

Please enlighten us then. What I observe is a bustling city that is constantly growing. Of course it's far from perfect. But everywhere I turn, construction is happening. The trains are so packed going in there in the morning with workers that I have to be at Westport Station by 6:15am just to find a parking spot.

But if you say you've been there 25 years, that's longer than me so please give specifics (and please don't just regurgitate statistics).

I detest the NYC mayor just as much as you probably do, but that doesn't take away from the fact that New York City is a great city. I like to think that the city thrives in spite of the inept and corrupt leadership. Imagine how much better it could be with true conservative leadership.
