[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rGabqshY0SWm/en/new-york-city-crime-housing-and-economy-the-reality-behind-the-headlines?t=37) Y- you know, I, I, I really appreciate that, because for so much of the year, and even before that, there's been this sense of a dystopia, if you- ... if you, if you watch right-wing Twitter or right-wing news.
