Message: [QUOTE="njcuse, post: 902095, member: 580"] For those of us who do not live in Manhattan, Brooklyn in my case, I can't feel too sorry for those on the Upper East Side. Bloomberg's record of cleaning out Manhattan before he barely touched the rest of the city tended to piss me off. After the blizzards of a few years ago, it was at least a weak before our side streets even saw a plow. Heaven forbid someone needed an ambulance on one of those streets, or a firetruck. Bloomberg did some good work as far as the city economy, but I won't miss his arrogant ass and his attempts to micromanage people's lives. Not sure yet about De Blasio; may be a crazy on the other end of the deal. I know I am tired of ideology. I would like to see a whole lot more politicians who actually care about the people and bring a pragmatic approach to solving problems and improving life, politicians willing to compromise for what is best and not shoving their world view down our throats.
