Never thought of NYC as #FearCity, but in 1975, finance crisis led 2 moniker, as chronicled by ppl involved in #DropDeadCity. IMO more interesting film would dually focus on NYC’s near-bankrupts in ’75 & ‘23 (sims/diffs) NOTE: Visuals negligible, so just stream. #AbrahamBeame #GeraldFord #WallStreet
