Do you think the problem of police overreaching and all the other
problems objected to by idealistic libertarians was dealt with
properly?

Or do you think that the way we dealt with our problems was to give
the streets to the criminals

Or neither.

I'm not a right-winger, but in all fairness NYC declined badly in the
70s-90s, under mostly liberal mayors. At it's worst, many parts of
Manhattan began to look like poor third-world countries. Remember how
the trains were completely covered in graffiti? It was pretty awful.
I think it reached a low point under Mayor Dinkins. While I can't
comment on his methods, but Giuliani did clean the place up pretty
remarkably.


The first thing Rudy did was get rid of the squeegy guys. Thank God!!!
