Been in SF for 2 hours and it’s heartbreaking. Streets lined with people keeled over, worse than ever. Drugs everywhere. I step into one store where a shoplifter gets caught and beats up a cashier until the police come.
Heading back to the airport.
Congrats @chesaboudin!

"Ed Koch and the Rebuilding of New York City" for starters.

Good cite. NYC was in terrible condition when Koch took office (1978). It improved steadily through 1980s with RE development as Wall Street did well (except for 1987 crash), although there was still a lot of crime. More crime, fiscal problems with Dinkins as mayor until 1993.
