> I grew up in the 80s in NYC and took the subway from Queens to Manhattan for HS (Stuyvesant). Plenty of homeless but mostly alcoholics, occasional mentally ill.

You didn't see drug users in 1980s NYC? And when did crack show up there?

Yeah, by any objective measure 80s NYC was way more dangerous than Capitol Hill, Seattle is today. The cognitive dissonance here is interesting.
