The article was comparing New York City of years gone by to its present day.

Murders per year in NYC under Rudy Giuliani:

1994 1561
1995 1177
1996 983
1997 770
1998 633
1999 671
2000 673
2001 649

Murders in NYC in 2023:

2023 386

I mean, any murder is one murder too many....but seriously? From 1962 through 2006, there wasn't a single year when NYC had less than 500 murders; since 212, there hasn't been a single year when it's been over 500. As someone who lived in New York City in the early nineties, when murders were peaking at close to 2K per year (with a lower population), the idea that today's NYC is uniquely a haven for criminality compared to years gone by is the most absurd revisionist history.
