Was Guiliani the Mayor that found the tipping point and was able to use it to turn crime and violence stats around in NYC? Off to do some research. Will edit back with my findings.

Edit:

By the early 1990s, these highly visible successes, especially in the subway, had begun to express themselves politically. Better than any other politician, Rudy Giuliani understood the pent-up demand for public order and built his successful 1993 run for mayor on quality-of-life themes. Once in office, he appointed Bratton, who had orchestrated the subway success and understood the importance of order maintenance, as New York’s police commissioner.

Giuliani was the best mayor NYC ever had. NY was in the dumpster looking more and more like Escape from NY. Giuliani (obviously with the help of NYPD) cleaned up the place big time and made NYC respectable and safe. Bloomberg wasn't too bad either. De Blasio has undone everything in short order.

And he was loved by media and entertainment at the time. So was Trump actually.

In the Wire the libtard writers couldn't help but try and bash No Broken Windows. They even wrote a whole sub plot about decriminalizing drugs. The only place liberal policies work is in the land of make believe.

They work great for the elite. Keep the peasants fighting each other so they won’t fight you.

They're generally against it now- atleast the politicians are. Maybe academics generally favor it. But academics don't make the policy/pass legislation.

It's just leftist in fighting with themselves. Notice they never mention the family or cultural institutions such as churches as solutions which are big threats to the state's control over individuals.

When was the last time you saw the staff of a Walgreens shooting up a CVS for cutting in on their business?

Giuliani was my favorite mayor. He really turned shit around. Shit was bad back then. Drugs, hookers all over time sq. Total mess. He’s on a weird and wild track now but he did a lot of good back then.
