42nd street is now a tourist magnet. It was crime filled, seedy X-rated theaters, prostitution out in the open. Giuliani’s claim to fame is that he cleaned up NY with his Broken Windows racist policy. The truth is more complex. Bill Clinton became president. The economy improved. Less crime when the economy is better. Trump’s heyday was around this time. He knows it’s a damn lie when he says crime is the worst it’s ever been.
I’m happy Cowherd is speaking out.
