The figures don't tell the story of all of the burroughs. Can you convince a cab to take you to the Bronx after 10 pm? I've had quite a few drivers tell me that they refuse to go there.

Btw, the 'mourning old New York' thing pisses me off as well, as things have moved on and it's a welcome change that crime is down in Manhattan. I'm observing, not judging, when I say that the the city is playground for the rich.
