It's a goner unless new leadership takes over -- highly unlikely and rigged elections.
I love(d) NY. I felt so safe walking all over - police on every block (or so it seemed) and I'd walk everywhere. Love the great restaurants - we have quite a few of the famous ones here now but not the same as NY during it's safe and sound times. Loved the theatre, shopping, shopping, shopping, art museums. I loved the delis - bagels, Gus' pickles, Li-lac Chocolates, the hotels, the jewelry stores. No place like it but I also loved Chicago (another horror story now) which also had incredible restaurants and shopping on the Loop, theatre, magnificent Lake Michigan - so beautiful.
It's a sad situation.
