  1. @ NYC improved in the late 1990’s, early 2000’s, largely due to a Republican mayor who aimed to clean up trash. Crime rates fell during this period. My dad told me NYC in the 1970’s and 1980’s was a crime haven. NYC still had major issues in the early 2000’s, the big difference is it was a different era. Now it’s suffering because of terrible policies. You can have a small town of 10,000 people be awful, because the city council does nothing to improve anything. You can have small cities be great because there is an emphasis on the average person. It doesn’t matter if it’s NYC, LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Seattle, Austin or Atlanta. There’s going to be lots of problems no matter what the people in charge do. If you live in a nice small town, city or countryside, you should be thankful.

  2. ⁠ @NORMIES_GET_OUT  It’s going down because regular people are giving up and the power players are too greedy to give us a decent quality of life. I appreciate Louis and all the hard work he’s done, but there simply aren’t enough people like him. You can watch old footage from the 80’s - 2000’s and you can see our cities were much better. I visited NYC in the year 2000, it was fantastic.

  3. Your situation is what California has been suffering from for a long time. Portland is a deep blue city, in a state that votes blue. Red voters there are just as helpless as they are in California. Every blue city I have been to over the past few years has the same problems. Trash. Homeless. A serious drug problem. No incentive to clean things up and make things look better. I’m tired of it. Best of luck with your future home.
