Unironcally because of genetrifaction. When Rudy Giuliani became mayor he made it so that apartments were unaffordable kicking out all the lower class residents. Nowadays you have hipsters living in Harlem

it was full of white people, and ever since whites = violence, NY was violent

There was a big crime wave in the late 60s brought on by heroin and because most of the jobs in inner cities disappeared from white flight and deindustrialization.
It got fixed in the 90s because of very aggressive policing under Bratton and Guiliani, combined with gentrification pushing out all the poor people.
Also, crime in general went down around America and through most of the industrialized world, probably because of some combination of abortion, leaded gasoline, and the end of the baby boom.

How can the mayor just increase home prices? Are the majority of apartments state owned?
Eli Jackson
NYC was never safe
Juan Nelson
Look up broken window theory
Connor Turner
He didn't, prices went up because Gen X thought cities were cool and started to move back in from the suburbs.
Ryan Ortiz
LITERALLY the same thing has just happened in London, Boris Johnson had stop and search so the police could stop and search the blacks for knives and Khan removed it because it was waycist and surprised surprised the blacks started stabbing each other again.

An italian major saved it, as always, euros doing what latinos can't
Anthony Parker
No, and Rudy didn't do anything to raise prices. Building was effectively illegal since the 1960s but it didn't affect prices since people were leaving the city anyway. When the city became safer demand returned and prices skyrocketed. But there are still a lot of poor people outside of Manhattan and north Brooklyn
Thomas Gutierrez
t. evil freakonomics guy
Brody Anderson
you can artificially inflate apartment prices
Robert Kelly

Jonathan Brooks
law and order and they basicly chased out all the poor people with high rents
Gabriel Morales
It has one of the lowest murder rates of any major city in the USA ( depending on your defention of a major city). Really on San Diego and Austin are lower than then them
