I don’t think Wall Street is responsible for that much corruption at the city level. I agree about the federal level, but at the city level it’s probably mostly real estate with NGOs as a close second.

(But again, I don’t think it’s been evidenced that NYC is uniquely corrupt, which was the original claim.)

> As for Giuliani, he himself is a mobster; he's facing the same RICO charges he leveled at crime bosses as a prosecutor.

Except that the man is nowhere close to the halls of power in NYC, and hasn’t been so for three decades!

He is of course a crook, but that doesn’t evidence NYC being corrupt in 2025. It evidences Giuliani being a crook at the federal level.
