nytimes.com had an excellent article this morning about an incredible housing boom in the city's four outer boroughs and the effect it is having on the city and its various ethnic groups.
It's always great to read about positive urban news in any US city and New York has always generated its fair share of such stories.
New York doesn't have to be my city for me to enjoy the way it evolves for a better future or for me to be fascinated by such a multifacted city.
well and good. but then I read within the article the following comment by Mayor Bloomberg:
"Housing is being built where 20 years ago people would not live," Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said in a telephone interview. "Other cities in other states have just not enjoyed this kind of boom. Each block is much more diverse than people realize. There is a cooperation and a spirit that we are here together and we're going to live together."
HELLO!!! Mayor Bloomberg, may I first remind you that there is life beyond the Hudson and then to ask sincerely (since your comment shows no evidence of this) have you ever heard of the city of Chicago? Meanwhile, Your Honor, I have to wonder: could you possibly be any more provencial than you apparently are?> |
