Wow. What a nice city NY was back in the day. No trash on the streets, trash cans present for folks to use. Sunny brisk day too. Really impressed. I wonder what the cost to rent a unit in some of those buildings was. For a few decades now, its turned into a major crap-hole for the most part and now it's run by a (second) communist that's never held a job. What a difference.
