The city was like Gotham back in the late '80s and early '90s.
The voters had learned their lesson so they voted for Rudy who cleaned up the city.
Then Bloomberg kept Rudy's policies.
So that was about 30 years of effective city government.
Then Dinkens ruined it in the latter 1980s.
Then Giuliani cleaned it up in the 1990s.
Then DeBlasio ruined it again in the 2010s.
NYC can't learn a lesson. Every time they have it good, they reject their mayor's "fascist policing."
Then they need another hard lesson.
