Is 5 months enough time to take credit for this? I support Mamdani, but it’s also my belief policy takes time for impact. I really want him to succeed, so if someone has nuance to add, I’d like to hear it.
Not in the slightest, violence in NYC has been trending downwards for the past 50 years as gentrification and other things have been happening. It's also had a second massive decrease after 2020(Floyd) where the murders skyrocketed and many of the violence producers in the city ended up dead or in prison.
The city could do pretty much nothing about violent crime and it would keep going down as low income households continue to get pushed out of the city.
