Reply to comment by headykruger in Two Philly developers think Atlantic City can look more like Amsterdam with the help of a $3 billion housing development by Dryheavemorning

Because if NYC can go from "Fear City" to what it is now, then we can believe that it's possible for every American city.

For those of you not around in the 70s and early 80s, NYC was like the Southside of Chicago. It was dangerous for everyone, crime didn't need a purpose it was just everywhere. It was despicable. But it's a safer city now. It's not at all like it used to be.
