Basic economic states that growth must occur, growth occuring city wide was NOT occuring perhaps midtown and lower manhattan but this is a city of over 7 million, and most of them live in the outer boroughs which there was NO growth. Ive seen the pictures and Ive heard the stories of rampant abandoment throughout the outer boroughs, the high crime rate, the low quality of life, all those are signs of bad economic times.Hell look at the national economy now everyone and their mother knows the economy is bad yet the numbers say there is still growth. So your logic is also flawed, just because the numbers indicate growth it doesn't mean there was complete overall growth, numbers do not ever indicate the reality of the situation. If there was growth as you say there was... then why did the city have to ask the feds for a bailout? Last time I checked, if you had money and growth as you think you said then why would the city need an economic bailout? I think you're the one that needs the basic economic lesson... cause if you were right then the city wouldn't have been in the problems it faced in the 70s using your logic. Nor would the city have begged the feds for the bailout, nor would've there been the servere cutbacks in city services. Also before the koch era starting in 1977 there was rampant corruption and number altering, THATS A FACT, so the numbers you may be reflecting upon may be those altered numbers during the corruption period of the early and mid 70s. If you were right then NYC would've not been in the situation it would've been. |
