Yes, it was a fucking warzone
It was poor, but it wasn't full of drugs. You could play outside at night as a kid. Walked myself to school. Now the teen girls file their nails into points so they can use them better in fights. Shits fucked
Sounds like an exaggeration.
Yes. Broken window theory is real.
go on..
That's just disguised racism. Was never proved to work.
Doesn't look like a warzone to me.
perfectly normal
Is that the nigga who invented dabbing?
Since you're Swede I can't if sarcasm or not
>native NY'r
Yes
NY was a shithole, but it was our shithole. Jewliani got in and made it easier for kikes to buy up everything, clean it up, and sell it for millions.
> it was ours before jewliani
And Ed Koch?
innercities didn't start to clean up till like 97ish.
Cars looked really beautiful back then.
/o/ would agree, 1955-1965 were the most aesthetic cars
Those New Yorkers are barbarians
that one looks pretty stupid.
yes
just google 'bronx 1970's'
literally escape from NY with like rat people squatting abandoned crumbling housing blocks
since you like that style
Right Model, wrong year
Looks like a 1958
Dude... I fucking love 65 Impalas. Especially Biscaynes.
How about this one?
From a part of New York where they aren't barbarians
the 70's was just a bad time in general.
looks like modern day passaic/paterson
It was everything you look for on TOR, and it was LEGAL
"The future is female!"
kek
nice car
Factual and heteronormative.
go to chicago right now, try not to get shot
that's NYC in the 70s-80s
hell, times fucking square was full of whorehouses and strip clubs. pimps on corners with a dozen hoes for you to take home right there in plain sight. in a city where prostitution has never been legal.
have you ever seen those doors with like 14 locks on them? people don't get a setup like that in a safe place user
Oldfag, from NY.
Yes, it was that bad. Worse, even. The entire city was falling apart. Most of the US was. There were potholes in the street that would trap a car, if a tire fell in. Buildings would burn, and they'd just board up the windows. Nothing worked. The subway was a jungle, covered in spraypaint and shit you don't want to know about. My older relatives who lived in the city since forever said it was nice in the 50s, started getting shabby in the 60's and was a shithole by the 70's. Half of the city was owned by foreigners. (((yes, including them))). City hall was a corrupt cesspool. Times Square was a warzone of pimps, criminals, and hookers. Every street had abandoned cars - the freeways outside of the city had them, too. There was trash everywhere. It smelled. There was a shitload of smog in the summertime. The black parts of the city looked like bombed out cities from wwII, it was cheaper to abandon buildings, or tear them down and leave the rubble, than to build something. The police department was entirely corrupt - go watch Serpico, it's a true story.
It's amazing what they did to turn the city around. What I remember, and what it's like now, it's like an alternate reality.
>but it wasn't full of drugs
Niggah, please. The first time I saw drugs was having joints offered to me on the street in NYC at 12. Drugs have ALWAYS been easy to get there, even now.
imagine the smell
I don't have to, I experienced it. The city stank. Worse than SF does now, and SF smells BAD. The east river was literal sewage.
>The entire city was falling apart
This is still true today

This is still true today

That has been the case for the past 150 years
>The police department was entirely corrupt

New York City is still a dump. Always has been and always will be.
>/o/ would agree
no we wouldn't, fuck off
Kids using abandoned broken down cars as playground equipment. I guess the scrapyards were too far away. Still, most of the people there are white and not looking to beat and rob you.
They really were. My dad used to have a 67 Ford. He gave it away in 2009. I wish he kept it.
Mugging was common in the 70's everywhere in the city. The user who mentioned the 10 locks on the door was right - crime was rampant.
And, most of the cars just sat and rusted, because nobody gave a fuck, or wanted to pay to have them towed - and a lot of them were in parts of the city tow truck drivers or flatbed drivers refused to go into. Back then, if you turned your back, your car would get stripped immediately.
>and shit you don't want to know about
Like what?
Yes it was bad. Times Square these days is like Disney Land. Literally goofballs dressed in costume suits ripping off tourists for $20+ to take a photo with them. Back in the day it was full of peep shows, porn theaters, drugs, and crackwhores openly selling pussy on the streets. No place you would want to bring your kid. Other parts of the city, even worse. Depending on the neighborhood you had all kinds of black, Puerto Rican, and ethnic gangs all over the place ready to cut you. These days it's just a place for white broads from Minnesota to move to and become liberal feminists who eat at free trade organic hipster restaurants.
>Prostitution and drugs in areas that are now tourist havens
>Corrupt leaders, the Mafia, and street gangs, all running their rackets
>City went bankrupt
>Blackouts and gas shortages
>The Bronx is on fire 24/7 and most of the hydrants don't work
It was pretty fucking awful.
In some ways, I'd say NYC never really became considered "a nice place" until 9/11.
Death Wish is a documentary
Your dad needs a good slap across the face for that.
>Was it really THAT bad?
Not really. PIC related.
>50s conservatism, nice NY
>60s counterculture, getting shabby
>shithole by the 70s
>turned around in the conservatism redux and based Giuliani
Really tickles the synapses
yes. the stats don't lie and you can look them up. but the 80's were even worse. wanna see the best documentary of the last decade? its kino and /comfy/ senpai
If it was a beautiful Thunderbird your dad fucked up. If it was a rust bucket Pinto, he did the right thing.
Not really. Visited my aunt, who was working in a hospital there, in 1982. I don't remember going five minutes the whole time I was there without hearing gunshots and/or sirens.
This is all well and good, but in the city likely to return to its 70s conditions?
>Those New Yorkers are barbarians
niggers*
>This is all well and good, but in the city likely to return to its 70s conditions?
with trump in charge absolutely yes.
It may. District Attorney's are refusing to prosecute a lot of things because they don't want to make crime rates seem higher or add to overcrowded detention facilities & prisons. Things like smoking pot in public, fare dodging on subways, urinating in public, and other 'quality of life' stuff keep getting decriminalized.
The NYPD's hands become increasingly tied and that's what leads to a build up of crime that results in waves, sprees and hotspots. Where people become accustomed to breaking the law and it builds into more serious offenses because nobody stops them.
Begging of the end
I was thinking of this too.

Give me a quick rundown on how this miracle was achieved.
He's not in charge of new york
The kid was dabbing in the roof of the car.
>That's just disguised racism. Was never proved to work.
If you've lived in poor areas, you know it works - the more tidy-looking a place is the better it is treated.
Any bartender will tell you that if you allow a bar to have empty glasses and plates left on the bar or tables, the place will get louder and rowdier and fights are more likely to happen.
Probably the same shit with children - if they play in a nice clean room they'll behave better than if they place in a cluttered place that looks unmaintained.

this was the chance for ny and the whites in ny to get rid of the "others"
>Giuliani
Bloomberg helped NYC more than Giuliani
wtf happened to NYC in the '50s to the '60s?
youtube.com
I saw this documentary about NY in the 70's
Shit was so fucked that if you pissed of a gang they would literally go and announce on the radio for people to hunt you down and kill you
nvm
He's just doing a dance move
what you mean?
O maybe that's why LA is so bad now... because the people in charge probably use the aliby 'Well-neck jerk-you didn't know New York in the 70s'.
Since they gave the illegals drivers licenses (2015) the traffic went from 3-4 hours traffic jams at/day to 8 hrs aday and the pollution increased aswell I tried to move away because of this to Miami, but Miami is a joke of a refugee barrack compared to a few years ago so that place is paradise lost
Yes, until Trump came along
Here they are right before the hurricane entitledly buying up all the water like selfish pigs not leaving any for anybody else the gas stations having cars of illegals 30 cars long THOSE PEOPLE ARENT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE
Look at how everyone is ugly too
From the book radical eye by miron zownir.
It was the calm before the storm.
>Give me a quick rundown on how this miracle was achieved.
NYC turned into a police state and things turned around.
>NYC turned into a police state and things turned around.
So what you're saying is that NatSoc actually works? Blimey, I had no idea!
lolno
What this guy said. And verified by everyone I know,
every time I stop at a gas station for as long as I can remember there's a 50/50 chance some dude will walk up to me offering a heroin tester.
The Seven Five is also a relevant doc. It's on Netflix.
zero tolerance crime policy had something to do with it I think
>Bloomberg helped NYC more than Giuliani
get a load of this faggot
t. new yorker
Death Wish was a guide to life.
Escape from New York was a documentary. That is how bad it was. Drove through New York City a time or two in the 80s. Wow. Looked like post war Berlin. Really made you wonder just who won that one.
New York City is and has always been trash
Only tourists who visit manhattan, and scummy NYC people think the city is anything special
>t. Upstate master race
Back in the 70s and 80s no one gave a shit what New YOrk City was like. We all knew it wasn’t even part of America (you all know why). It was common knowledge. You don’t go to NYC, you don’t drive through unless you have no option and you don’t stop the car for anything if you do. I literally saw a group of feral savages striping a car in the fucking median during rush hour. Honest to God.
Looks like Fallout irl
I guess that’s how Trump got rich. He invested in NYC real estate when it was risky
Mayor Giuliani kicked out all the niggers and shit skins
Mayor (((Bloomberg))) made it rich
Of course all the niggers moved back in
911 transformed NYC into a police state,
New York has always been a shithole
LA has recently turned into this.
>buying food and water before a major disaster means you're entitled
You Trumpcucks throw that word around so much it's lost its meaning.
>Slate
Opinion discarded.
Too busy sucking underage cocks and getting aids to care
I guess the mafia back then had it good.

There are more of them in Sweden than outside it.
Let it sink in.
Is no one gonna mention how that kid is dabbing
The crime rates in New York Shitty in the 1970s and 80s was a big reason Death Wish struck a cord with people.
well at least he didn't drop his cigarette
So did serial killers.
anchor babies, doing what they do best......destroying property someone else worked for whether it's that car or the building behind them.
Our white country was destroyed by sorry ass mexican spics and sorry ass niggers.
