<p>Illmatic,</p>
<p>Again it all depends on how you define New York (to me its Manhattan mostly). Also, no true New Yorker, would ever compare THE CITY, to Boston (a place that in my opinion represents everything thats wrong with America--the Red Sox, John Kerry, etc.)....so I question how New York you actually are on the basis of that statement alone. </p>
<p>Please do humor me on how you think a drop in crime is a bad thing. Also, there are ghetto areas in the Bronx and Harlem (up by Columbia...HAHA) where you can find plenty of crime, I suggest you move the to some of housing projects there and leave your doors unlocked if you love crime so much.</p>
