NYC had a mob problem, and Giuliani and later Bloomberg addressed this, somewhat effectively. Still, when I visited NYC in the early 2000's it still wasn't a safe city by my standards, but those were informed more by what I experienced in other countries than the USA. Washington DC currently does not have a mob problem, and isn't nearly as crime ridden as you make it out to be in your comments in this thread. Yes, homeless people exist. And they exist because of various policies, including federal ones that steer people towards homelessness if their lives get upended. Other affluent countries do not have these problems. Of course people in those other affluent countries typically pay more taxes.
If you really do not like the liberal policies that cities tend to have then maybe you should vote with your feet and move to a rural area or to a city that is run by the Republicans? Then you can be with the people who see things your way.

Oh, wait...
