I agree that crime is lower than the worst time ever in NYC. But a lot of crime is still up 20, 30, 40% over the last 12 years. I'm sorry, but that's just really bad and calling it a media narrative because crime is still down from the all time highs is misleading in my opinion.

Like is your argument really "Well crime still isn't as bad as it was in the 90s so it's ok"?
