Fun City, all over again
I was quite young when John Lindsay was elected, but I will never forget he decided to let the little people express themselves in public spaces by allowing so called "graffiti-artists" to do their thing.
Police made no effort to stop them, and the city stopped trying to paint over or erase their damage.
The city subway looked as hellish as you would expect, inside an out, both the cars and the stations.
Anyway, so far as could be seen in news photos.
And the whole city suffered worse crime.
Talk about the opposite of "zero tolerance."
That was Hizzoner.
