We will not see another crime wave like what we saw from the 60s-90s again because it ain't those days no more. There will always be shootings because NYC is a lucrative market for out of state arms traffickers. Guns will always find their way up here no matter how hard the NYPD tries. There is more guns in the streets then ever.
However the game has changed. There is alot of ways to make money know. More people are scamming now than selling drugs. You have street and square nikkas heavy in the credit card scamming wave.
Tax fraud is going to be next. Wait till nikkas get on the tax fraud game they will make so much money so fast we will see alot of hood millionaires in a short period of time.White collar crime is the new wave right now. That means less muggings,less car jacking because these dudes are making a whole lot of money fast and don't have to worry about beef,bangouts unless they sell a bad card to the worn nikka who run down on them. But that is rare.
If the bubble pops we will not an increase of crime tho. We may see ghost condos tho. However at that time condos and luxury apartments will be dirt cheap. It will present alot of money opportunities. Hell we may see scamming nikkas buy condos with cash since standards will be lowered by desperate landlords.
