New York City's Future of Bad Old Days

I wrote awhile ago about the strange nostalgia, among some New Yorkers, for the bad old days when NYC was dangerous, dirty shithole of a racial cauldron.  That nostalgia is still around, but it won't have to be mere nostalgia much longer as Bill DeBlasio will be our next mayor.  The bad old days are bound to come back.  Jay Nordlinger touches on this theme in much greater detail in part two of a series here.
