It’s a little different, ya can’t compare if you’ve not seen both: Old Times Square was grubby with faint smell of danger in the air. Today’s San Francisco and today’s Los Angeles are ENTIRELY people in need of help pooping openly on the sidewalk, and there is no mid-price “home” to get away to. We didn’t used to observe Times Square or Boston’s “Combat Zone” and reactively feel the whole society was a nano-meter away from complete societal collapse. You could be someplace more functional with only a couple subway stops. California’s cities today are very close to the sort of refugee camps ya’d see in challenged, corrupt, economically disadvantaged countries abroad. There IS money to help, and there ARE policing & social-work methods that work, but our tax dollars go to defense contractors & blacked-out (not allowed to view) budgets. Should the USA remain militarily hegemonic ? Maybe. But all those tax dollars are going to “no-bid” contracts and corrupt politicians. It’s not even being spent on legit defense programs. Veterans are audited and lose what they are owed. But those certain companies receive even more than they ask congress for. There is PLENTY of money to help American citizens and broken social programs.

I visited New York city in the early 1970s and could not believe the cacophony of loud car horns beeping in downtown Manhattan. Came back in the late 1970s and all gone.

Now it's here in Vegas lol

I was a little girl in the 80's and remember going into the subway with my grandma. I remember the darkness and graffiti and robbers would snatch chains or purses and run off

Colin embodies the native New Yorker. He’s seen it all

Where's Lady Di and Marion?

Only in Hell’s Kitchen would a tough Irish street kid pick a fight with André the giant !

WINDOW UP. PANTS DOWWWWN!

Rogan showing the proper veneration to Colin. I appreciate that.

There was a show on HBO a few years back called The Deuce and it was all about this subject.

Ask any tourist who visits NYC and ask them what color was causing the most raucous

@@Jimbojanko17 because it’s the opposite color of the group that the government and media want you to believe are “the nation’s biggest threat to democracy”. That’s why. That’s not fascinating to you?….that reality is the exact opposite of what all of our governments, media, and once trusted institutions are telling you the problem is? Call me crazy, but I find that to be significant, especially for anyone who wants to update their worldview and make sure they’re aligned with reality.

@@joleaneshmoleane8358 so you’re saying white people causing the problems - right? Using your ‘logic’: From normal media it’s implied that ‘people of colour’ are more likely the problem, but you’re telling me the opposite of that is true, so that means whites are the problem? Correct? Can’t you just say what you mean rather than talk riddles?

The 80s were definitely color - the 50s were black and white.

Now, we have massage parlors

I’m actually good friends with one of his nephews. Went to a family bday of theirs and they dragged him out to do a stand up routine for everyone. Obviously I couldn’t get every roast as it was family specific, but from what I could get it was pretty funny, even though he claimed he bombed it. Either way, seemed like a genuine, humble, down to earth guy. His nephew is fucking hilarious as well

Colin is the man

I wish i could have of grown up in that era

As long as you lived in a decent part of town it was OK. You essentially just passed through the crappy parts of town, of which there were many and they were big and densely populated.

They don't have handcuffs anywhere on Earth big enough to fit the wrists of Andre the Giant.

Caligula opened at the movie theatre across from Ohio State u. on High Street in Columbus - and it was a MAJOR event! The same summer 'Escape from New York' so ... Then it became a fastfood joint. I think I read nobody (A-list) in Caligula got paid except Guccione - Peter O'Toole, Malcom McDowell, Helen Mirren, Sir John Gielgud - those mostly not there for the porno scenes.

I am from Boston. Friend of mine and me went to Times Square on Halloween in 1976. We were 18. It was insane . The Combat Zone x1000. We loved it. Zappa played the Palladium.

As someone who lived in NYC for over 30 years, I can definitely say that most of these comments are just people lying their ass off about living in NYC, including me
