Yes.

Because I remember growing up and not that long ago with New York, you could find some new neighborhood and there'd be some cool ice cream store, some sock store, whatever, a button store, cool little spots.

And it would be a fun adventure to just walk around and just walk in different places.

And that's gone.

Is it?

Yeah.

You can't open up some weird little store in New York anymore.

The rent's through the roof.

The crime is through the roof.

It's miserable.

L.A.

has these little pockets, which I enjoy seeing.

So John Lindsay was mayor in the late 60s during the Summer of Love stuff.

You had sexual assaults through the roof.

You remember New York was going bankrupt under Abe Beam when Gerald Ford was president.

And Ford, the headline, I think the New York Post was Ford to New York City dropped dead.

And that cost him some votes and possibly the presidency.

But New York has these, I don't know what the cycle, for Giuliani to win, you had to have a Dinkins.

For Obama to come in, you had to have a Bush.

But here's the other problem.
