I"m finally getting around to watching Daredevil: Born Again ...

... and it's making me reflect again how much pop culture is basically fixated on "the chaotic, crime-ridden streets of NYC / [big-cities-in-general]" ...

it's as if the cultural imagination got completely frozen in the crime peak of the early 80s, and can't move on

man alive, crime in NYC today is -- in the real world -- lower than in much of the city's history, and lower than the national average
