>Secondly, housing costs in NY tripled from 1980-1988 Doesn't this correlate with the steep drop in crime around that same time period? | ||

No, crime rose dramatically to a peak in 1990. Housing costs in NYC were stable throughout the 1990s while crime fell by 90%. Pretty much the opposite of what you just suggested. | ||
