NEW: Ray Domanico weighs accusations that Hasidic yeshivas fail to adequately teach secular subjects and prepare students for success against the relevant historical, legal, and policy considerations and makes recommendations for the path ahead. manhattan-institute.org/nys-vs-hasidic…
Domanico’s report reveals the complexity of the issues involved, starting with the tension between the state’s education interests and the rights of parents, especially in religious matters.
Domanico finds that many of the accusations made against Hasidic schools also apply to some of the state’s district-run schools, while the marked differences among Hasidic schools call for case-by-case reviews and solutions.

NEW: Should we be spending more or less on the NYPD? The question can only be fairly considered in context and with hard numbers. @nicolegelinas analyzes four decades of NYPD spending to find out: manhattan-institute.org/defund-the-pol…
How large is the NYPD budget, relative to the overall city budget? How has spending on policing changed over the years and decades, relative to the entire budget? How large is uniformed-police staffing, relative to the overall city workforce?
Gelinas investigates these questions and finds that operational spending on the uniformed NYPD, contrary to conventional wisdom, has shrunk substantially as a share of the city budget since the early '80s, both in terms of spending and the size of the uniformed-officer workforce.

In the @nytimes, critics of @NYCMayor's push to provide involuntary treatment for some mentally ill NYers ask: “Where are the resources?” That question is legitimate but demands clearer context. Analysis from Stephen Eide 🧵
FACT: NYC has abundant mental health resources: the nation’s highest concentration of psychiatrists, the most expensive Medicaid program in the nation per capita, and a commitment to supportive housing that goes back 30 years.
On these fronts and others, New York City is the envy of other communities. So why does the city seem to have no better handle on untreated serious mental illness than poorer, rural jurisdictions?

🧵 For 30 years, @ManhattanInst has pioneered policing innovations—most notably the "broken windows" theory—that have improved both safety and quality of life in U.S. cities.

Now, we will expand upon this work with the launch of a new initiative. manhattan-institute.org/policing-publi…
National and local debates over policing reform and public safety increasingly pit these two imperatives against each other.

Outrage over controversial uses of force and perceived police racism has spurred proposals to #DefundThePolice and enact various reforms.
Meanwhile, major cities—including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and St. Louis—are seeing elevated rates of murder and shootings.

Some—like Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland—are also seeing troubling deteriorations in public order. city-journal.org/nyc-public-saf…

🧵 Watch our eventcast with Professor Ed Glaeser @Harvard for his annual James Q. Wilson Lecture, this year addressing #COVIDー19 and city life in America. 1/ manhattan-institute.org/2020-james-q-w…
America’s cities were brought to a halt by #COVIDー19. Workers in service jobs have been especially hard hit.

And now Zoom may do to cities today what highways did in the mid-century: undermine the econ logic of packing many people into small, expensive slices of land. 2/
But it’s a core belief @ManhattanInst that every city controls its own destiny, that policy decisions and public leadership matter. @reihan

Ed Glaeser @Harvard gives us an idea about what those good decisions look like—and how to ensure the best days for cities remain ahead. 3/ Image
