I suppose that if you are delusional enough to believe that American cities can be fixed relatively easily, and that they can be fixed by voting, and that Republicans are capable of fixing anything, you might as well believe all three impossible things.
I never said it would be easy.
Voting in a Republican majority in both house, Senate ,Governor, Mayor and board of alderman (or whatever NY city calls them ) would be a necessary first step.
Then they could rescind the stupid no bail law and catch and release policies and start putting the worst 2000 criminals or so behind bars. And yes that means building and staffing adequate prison facilities to hold them.
At the same time they will have to open and fill facilities for the mentally disabled and get them off the streets and away from illegal drugs and unable to prey on innocent citizens just walking down the street.
So it is all possible but the first step is the vote.
