It’s a little different, ya can’t compare if you’ve not seen both: Old Times Square was grubby with faint smell of danger in the air. Today’s San Francisco and today’s Los Angeles are ENTIRELY people in need of help pooping openly on the sidewalk, and there is no mid-price “home” to get away to. We didn’t used to observe Times Square or Boston’s “Combat Zone” and reactively feel the whole society was a nano-meter away from complete societal collapse. You could be someplace more functional with only a couple subway stops. California’s cities today are very close to the sort of refugee camps ya’d see in challenged, corrupt, economically disadvantaged countries abroad. There IS money to help, and there ARE policing & social-work methods that work, but our tax dollars go to defense contractors & blacked-out (not allowed to view) budgets. Should the USA remain militarily hegemonic ? Maybe. But all those tax dollars are going to “no-bid” contracts and corrupt politicians. It’s not even being spent on legit defense programs. Veterans are audited and lose what they are owed. But those certain companies receive even more than they ask congress for. There is PLENTY of money to help American citizens and broken social programs.

I have never been to NYC, but I guess how much that city has changed especially, with the migrant crisis. On the other hand, I didn't know Colin, and I found him a fine guy, thank you Joe for inviting him on your podcast.

Simon and Pelicanos(Spellcheck lol) really did their research. Similar to what Simon did with 'The Wire.' The character Vince was a real guy, or atleast based on one, and all the stories actually happened to different people in some shape or form. They didn't necessarily all know each other quite like they did in the series but as far as the details go, it was as authentic as it gets.

Caligula opened at the movie theatre across from Ohio State u. on High Street in Columbus - and it was a MAJOR event! The same summer 'Escape from New York' so ... Then it became a fastfood joint. I think I read nobody (A-list) in Caligula got paid except Guccione - Peter O'Toole, Malcom McDowell, Helen Mirren, Sir John Gielgud - those mostly not there for the porno scenes.

@@Jimbojanko17 because it’s the opposite color of the group that the government and media want you to believe are “the nation’s biggest threat to democracy”. That’s why. That’s not fascinating to you?….that reality is the exact opposite of what all of our governments, media, and once trusted institutions are telling you the problem is? Call me crazy, but I find that to be significant, especially for anyone who wants to update their worldview and make sure they’re aligned with reality.

About what year did NYC change? I ask because as a 13 year old in 97 we visited. We were supposed to be heading to where we were staying on 88th St but we stupidly ended up on an overground train rather than the subway and couldn't work out why we were missing all the stops. Two Black guys told us the next stop was 125th st and they did it in a "I wouldn't get off there if I were you" way. So even more stupid was we got off at some stop called Melrose I think, and we thought we'd walk to flag a taxi down. It was scary as hell and we were getting eyed up on every street. We ended up walking over a bridge and into an area of high rise apartments but by that stage we seemed to be mostly surrounded by Puerto Ricans and my dad is fluent in Spanish. We walked all the way to 88th St. Would that rouge (if anyone can deduce) be a problem nowadays? Because it was really on top that day
