Do you realize NYC was the greatest city on the planet in the 1950's even though a huge majority were poor less educated working class usually first and second generation immigrants? By 1975 too much of it had become a cesspool of drugs, crime, poverty, welfare, food stamps, government housing and racial division. What changed? As much as I always blast the GOP for Reaganomics on steroids the past 30+ years there is much more to the story of how we got to this point..

Whom do you blame for NYC becoming a cesspool by the 1970s?
