Hey hold on Kumar. I live in Jersey but am a full blooded New Yawker. By the way, you must be nuts commuting to NY from Philly? I would of gone nuts doing that. I had half the commute from central NJ every day for 30 years before i started working from home. Would you agree that Rudy was a big deal in NY's renaissance? Mike

New York hit a very bad patch in the 1970s. It became filthy and crime-ridden, with soaring welfare caseloads, expanding ghettoes, and several almost-bankruptcies. (In 1975 Mayor Beam appealed for Federal aid, the President turned him down, the the NY Post ran its famous headline: "Ford to City: Drop Dead"). I know that my mother (who didn't live to see the turnaround) was mourning in the 1970s for the New York of her childhood in the 1930s and 1940s, a clean and functioning city, the pride of its inhabitants.
