>Every other developed country currently also has their lowest murder rate in a century. But they are locking up 10x fewer people than the US is
There is a million and a half reasons why this is. Edit: Since the comment was deleted - there are a million and half reasons why the US and other western countries have different circumstances
>It's almost as if it's not working at all.
The (until recently) record low homicide rate begs to differ.

>I think better policing over the last 30-40 years has been pretty effective. .
10x more people in prison per Capita than Germany and yet way higher crime rates?
You call that a success? Man, your parents must've put the bar for your achievements insanely low

How on earth can someone in 2023 still question the direct correlation between poverty and crime?!
What the fuck .. this is basic knowledge amongst criminologists. Have you never spoken to one?

I would like to do both, mainly because they are both important goals independent of each other.
I'm not particularly convinced about the povert -> crime argument in this case, given that poverty rates went down during COVID thanks to massive government cash infusions.

COVID happened worldwide, but crimes didn’t rise worldwide.
If your logic about the bail reform is right, then you must also conclude that COVID is not what caused crimes to rise.

Reply to comment by natekrinsky in With an absentee corporate landlord, Upper Manhattan tenants unite to demand repairs by natekrinsky
Ba CB k in the 870s/80s building were taken over by the government they couldn’t handle the tenants so ended up selling it of. Sometimes tenants are purposefully destroying apartments to try to get nicer apartments or to not pay rent. When rents are low there’s limited funds to make such repairs often there are no funds for repairs so the building just gets left to fall into shambles

I’m so over the anti white racist ideology of this city. The media and progressives need to think about what is fair and what is just more racist bullshit. You can lift up other people without hating whites

There is one on the lower east side that is open to see. Used to do special halloween tour with colonial "ghosts." I also think the Seaport in nyc has historic buildings. You might check their site and ask.

Good for Bragg and his staffers. Republican congressmen and women seem to think that they are the law. I guess we could just call republican congress members "Karen".
I guess states' sovereignty like freedom of speech only applies to republicans.

We literally blow hundreds of millions on nothing.
The budget grows and grows and for what? No extra service? No new lines? Oh wow! They’re deep cleaning 20 stations of the 472 in NYC! The first time in like 20 years or some shit?
“Guard rails to the tracks will cost seven hundred billion million quadrillion heptillion dollars because blahblahblah greased wheels and deals and “making things happen”
Sorry how much did the MTA charge in overtime hours?
How about that one official who billed for more OT hours than THERE ARE IN A FUCKING YEAR???
The leadership that siphons money from the people of NYC should be dragged through the streets.

This post is pathetic. On the one hand you claim that there are a million reasons why crime rates are low in other countries, but then you go and claim that the US crime rate being low is thanks to putting people in prison.
Fucking pathetic.
