Editorial Reviews Review Praise for THE LAST DAYS OF NEW YORK: a reporter's true tale by Seth Barron “Seth Barron has covered New York for a very long time. He has a new book The Last Days of New York. The title says it all.” — TUCKER CARLSON “A propulsive chronicle of failed policy and bad leadership.” — HEATHER MAC DONALD, New York Times bestselling author of The War on Cops and The Diversity Delusion
“I have watched NYC fall apart before my eyes but until I read Seth Barron’s book I didn’t know how and why. Now I know and thanks to his unparalleled reporting it’s clear who is to blame… and how to fix it. A must read.” — BRIAN KILMEADE, host of Fox & Friends and Fox radio program The Brian Kilmeade Show and New York Times bestselling author
“Demonizing cops. Dismantling the rule of law. Dissing the ‘rich’ and middle class who pay most of the city’s taxes. This book is required reading for those who love New York and want to understand why so many die-hard New Yorkers are fleeing.” — JUDITH MILLER, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
"New York has endured stock market crashes, crime waves, terrorist attacks and pandemics. But in this gripping new book, Seth Barron warns the city may not recover from the preening, disastrous incompetence of Mayor de Blasio.'' — RAY KELLY, 37th and 41st Police Commissioner of New York City
“A valuable and gripping account of New York City’s decline, hastened by a mayor who is not only an incompetent manager, but a naive socialist who believes in the propaganda of yesteryear, along with a gullible and compliant media. New York City made tremendous strides from its nadir in the 1970s. Through the 90s and 2000s, crime dramatically declined and quality of life soared, as the city adopted bold and conservative approaches to the basics of city management. Amid so much noise, hysteria, and yes, fake news, Seth Barron tells the proverbial “story behind the story” that the mainstream media have neither the ability nor inclination to tell. Barron’s reporting and analysis proves that the truth is more interesting than anything you’re being told about the undeniable decline of New York City. Barron’s account shows the sad abandonment by liberal politicians of the policies that brought New York out of the dark ages. His brilliant analysis will inform and enrage, but also provide hope to restore New York’s greatness. Cheap politicians, shallow reporters, and a general public at their wits end, Barron cuts through the noise and provides a devastating account of a city’s decline under the delusional leadership of socialists and con men.” — GREG KELLY, journalist, pilot, marine and host of Newsmax Greg Kelly Reports
“Barron captures the current spirit of New York, a city in decline, as though he were Edward Gibbon contemporaneously covering the fall of Rome. There is no guess-work, this is an accurate depiction of what is happening, and why those who can, leave. We all believe New York will rise again, but how long we must deal with backwards government is the question most families are trying to handicap.” — JOSEPH C. BORELLI, New York City Council member for the 51st District of the New York City Council
"With his encyclopedic knowledge of Gotham's politics and society, and his immense storytelling gifts, Seth Barron offers readers a front-row seat to the tragic fall of America's greatest metropolis." — SOHRAB AHMARI, op-ed editor for the New York Post......
NN COMMENTS: The problem is you never know whether a commentator on this beat is referring to NYC per se or just Manhattan. I'm sure DiBlasio's evils have impacted all boros, but are they really suffering anything like the main island?

Seth Barron to Tucker Carlson: New York City May Collapse
New York City is in decay under Mayor Bill de Blasio and likely seeing its final days, journalist Seth Barron told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson last week.
Barron discussed his new book, "The Last Days of New York: A Reporter's True Tale†(Humanix Books), detailing how America’s once most noted city has seen crime and homelessness soar as thousands of taxpayers have fled.
"It’s a grim story," Barron told Carlson. "De Blasio and his progressive tendency have essentially hollowed out what was a prosperous and safe city. They did this by spreading an ideology of division, class hatred, racial hatred, racial resentment, and frankly, they neutered the police and handcuffed them."
Barron added that New York City, under de Blasio, has lacked fiscal responsibility, ruined its school system and let political corruption run rampant. Barron noted that a potential new mayor will have a difficult time rolling back many of de Blasio’s programs, since many were enacted by legislation, such as bail reform and criminal justice reform.
When asked whether any new mayor would deal with the city’s rampant homelessness and vagrancy problems, Barron said that no one really wants to deal with the problems of "clearing people out."
He noted that a new mayor would face multiple problems, including "dealing with the mentally ill."
