I'm not talking about Detroit. Look, as a NYer, I know the rest of the country hates us. We all know that. I personally can't do anything to change the whole rest of the country's opinion. When you're born and raised in a place, it's your home. I left in the 80s when crime got bad, lived in 4 different places, and came back in '97 and the city had changed dramatically for the better. We had some very good years under Giuliani, and under Bloomberg too. I also lived here during the infamous "Ford To NY: Drop Dead" years. The city came back from that.
