Colin Quinn on Why Post Lockdown NYC is Not Like NYC in the 80's

My dad lived in NYC for a couple years in the 70s. He always said he never got mugged because he bought an Army jacket and would start ranting to make people think he was a vet with mental issues. Not the best lesson to teach your kids in hindsight. Edit: many of you have pointed out the self preservation instincts my dad has. It was a good lesson, since I used it during college in eastern DC. That’s part they don’t show in movies.

[@wildworld6641]

Your dad taught you that everyone's interactions with you are based on their perceptions of you. Theyll treat you the way they THINK you should be treated. That's a good lesson for a kid, you can survive alot of fucked up situations with that lesson.

He previously taught at Northeastern University. James Quinn Wilson was an American conservative academic, political scientist, and an authority on public administration.

The biggest and most important industry in new york isnt finance, media, publishing etc, its office workers. Without office workers, commercial real estate goes bust, the public transport system goes bust, shops and restaurants go bust, residential property goes bust. It will be well over a year before companies in NYC can even think of going back to the office en masse, and by that time people will have moved away, gotten accustomed to WFH and not commuting, and the kinks will have been ironed out of WFH, and this is more true the longer things go on, so there's a real possibility that things will never go back to how they were before in terms of office workers.

[@bmlong137]

Office work isn't coming back 100%. There will need to be a massive collapse in prices, followed by a transformation, and then it will rebound as a very residential/retail/restaurant driven city. The transformation will be the enlarging of individual apartment residential space (to support WFH) and conversions from office space to residential and retail, including restaurants.

[@l.n963]

Its already reaching the levels of the late 90‘s in some precincts. the main reason why crime is down is car thefts, if you take out car thefts the crime rate will look much worse.

I'm A musician who lives in New Jersey. And I was going into the city regularly to play in the subway. And I keep wondering when I'm going to be able to do that again.

[@SalAvenueNJ]

@@Its_me-Im_you Well right now I don't know if the MTA is letting people even play down there. I've also heard it's not as safe as it was even a year ago. Someone will be in a station just to cause trouble. A few months back some guy just jumped on top of a women and started humping her in front of other people waiting for the train. Someone got stabbed in the last couple of weeks. And I read a story from 1 performer who had someone charge at him and threaten to throw him onto the tracks But I'm keeping my eye out.

[@Its_me-Im_you]

@@SalAvenueNJ yeah.. all that is disgusting. Frotterism is heavy there on the subways - so I have heard.. But do you have any rough cuts of demos? And a bunch of blank CDs?

NYC in 1981. We left Boston with a car and 4 wheels parked in Queens where my car was left on Budweiser cans with my rims lifted and stereo gone. THATS NEW YORK IN THE 1980S

The bit about glamorousing the violent past is a big thing where I'm from. Glasgow had a reputation as one of the most violent cities in Europe for decades. So much safer now but lots of people fawn over that shit and lots of non-Glaswegians still talk as though you are going to headbut them when you have a minor disagreement.

Like Colin said, NYC was pretty cool in the 70s during the daytime. And yeah the nights were a write off for everybody

[@yashar-el]

People who claim that NYC back in the 70's was somehow better and "cooler" need some mental help.

Yeah, who wants to go back to the city that gave birth to punk, hip-hop, new wave, disco, Basquiat, Mapplethorpe, Haring, Gay Pride, and a zillion other cultural and social elements that actually moved the world? As opposed to now, when it's filled with wannabe suburbanites, Wall St douchebags, sorority girls, and many of the world's worst plutocrats?

[@yashar-el]

@ Yeah, we all want to go back to the city that was swarmed with criminals, drug dealers, murderers, rapists, when it was impossible to walk down the street safely in the evening, let alone ride the graffiti subway. Seriously, it was so awesome to get stabbed and robbed, etc. All I see now is well dressed, successful young and not-so-young people working well-established jobs, doing their thing, not to mention a much better and updated infrastructure (though it's still nowhere near the level of Tokyo). But no, seriously, Gay Pride and Basquiat gave the world so much happiness and prosperity that I can now truly attest we live in a much better world. We're all so happy and united. If it wasn't for Mapplethorpe, new wave disco freak shows, and porn theaters, we as a Western Civilization of New York City, would've collapsed.

[@yashar-el]

@ You must be some cranky 60 something year old idiot nostalgic of NYC. Just because one survived the 70's zombie apocalypse in NYC, that doesn't make the city good place to live. There's a difference between cautiousness and cowardice.

Bloomberg isnt the dude that can clean up New York...lol.

[@savannahp6359]

you have listening problems. they said guiliani but then started talking about bloomberg

[@Bronk0Nagurski]

@@savannahp6359 listening problems or just a difference of opinion of what was being discussed. They were talking on how Giuliani cleaned things up, switched to talking about Bloomberg and could he be re-elected and then at about the 6:20 mark Joe says someone like Bloomberg needs to clean NY up. If you want to dance in the gray area of Joe saying "someone" and not naming anyone, by all means, have at it. Seeing as how they were discussing if Bloomberg could be mayor again, id say reason lends to the idea that they think Bloomberg, if elected again, would be able to clean things up. Thus my initial comment. Of which, I stand by. I dont think Bloomberg could clean it up and honestly given the political climate, I dont know that anyone can. I think NYC collapses in on itself socially and economically, much like Detroit has.

[@gibsonflyingv2820]

Oh really? Interesting because under Bloomberg we had the lowest crime rate in NYC. He was so beloved he got a third term, the only nyc mayor in history to hold that title, Rudy couldn’t pull that off and he was mayor during 911. Your bias is quite evident, just because Fox News told you Bloomberg was bad doesent mean they know shit, I’ve lived in NYC since the 68 and believe me we have yet to have a better mayor than Bloomberg, he was a great man and made the city a paradise. I agree deblasio is awful though.

[@Bronk0Nagurski]

@@gibsonflyingv2820 I dont even watch Fox News man...but okay. As i stated, given the political climate, i dont know that he or anyone can "clean up NY". Shit, maybe im wrong. Elect the guy an find out. Its no hair off my chest. Enjoy NY my friend. You folks have a good day.

[@gibsonflyingv2820]

Okay that’s fair, my mistake I mistook you for one of those people who groups in Bloomberg with deblasio. I only wrongly assumed your of the more automatic right wing in that most of them think things went down after Rudy. Now honestly Rudy was an excellent mayor, he really cleaned up crime in this city and Bloomberg did as well. Deblasio is the one who plunged the city into a terrible place to live, hopefully he gets voted out and someone sane takes over. I’ve left nyc myself ATM lol currently in Pennsylvania till deblasio is removed.

@Morris Watkins all the wealthy businessmen and government people worked in Detroit but lived in the cities surrounding Detroit because of crazy taxes that were implemented. Then the city forced all government workers to live in the city so 10-15 workers would “rent” a house in the city. Property tax is through the roof in Detroit. The democrats ruined the city. Pretty sure every single mayor since the 80’s was removed from office and most are/were in prison.
