Crime in the Big Apple isn’t “down” no matter how many times you read those headlines – but the city’s business community can’t seem to let go of the fantasy, On The Money has learned. Leaders of our business class are touting declines of certain crimes as proof that the city is safe for workers and entrepreneurs. And to be fair, it’s partly true: Murders are down nearly 50% over the past 16 years, and almost 34% lower than they were just two years ago.
