Part 12/15:
The discussion touched on the possibility of social decay if policies favor decriminalization of activities like prostitution and reduced law enforcement. Comparing New York's past, when the city was riddled with crime and social unrest in the 1970s and 1980s, the speakers warned that a lack of effective governance could lead to a similar downfall. Rudy Giuliani’s cleanup of New York was praised as a turning point that revitalized the city, but concerns were raised that current policies might undo that progress.
