What I should have said was long as I can remember. Since the late 1960-70s. Of course there are different parts of the Bronx as well. But it's been savage there for a long time, in comparison to the other boroughs. Brooklyn comes next.
Did you catch my reference to Car 54? Long time ago now.
I guess we know a different NY. Some good areas, some bad. Brooklyn has many fine neighborhoods and tourists inundate the Arthur Avenue area.

Obviously, many of the historically bad neighborhoods in Brooklyn have changed a lot with the huge inflow of yuppies and other liberal-minded young white people, but, in the areas where there are still problems, the degree of savagery hasn’t changed over the decades. Bronx, as I said earlier, is even worse. Seems most of the most violent crimes in NYC are committed in the Bronx, with Brooklyn a not-too-distant 2nd.
