Oh great Bloombucks is still mayor. Almost 2 million people bothered to vote out of eight million. Enjoy the lying Wall St guy who changed term limits illegally that will sure to bring more tax subsidized condos (many are sitting empty in Williamsburg)that will take apart neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens that he deems affordable housing while pushing out low and middle income people. Hope he doesnt close anymore fire stations either.

Check out the Tom Robbins article from last weeks Village Voice The mayors press pass, The unexamined world of Mike Bloomberg. He's fixed the numbers on school improvement, and has connections to Stuyvesant town with Merril Lynch to push out long time residents. Prepare for things to get even more expensive.

The guy cares so much he leaves every Friday on his private plane to his private resort in Bermuda to golf, cause he understands working people.

Dems should be kicking themselves they didnt put more effort and $ into Thompson, who came close despite being insanely outspent, good thing they wasted all that money on shitty candidates in VA and NJ Governor races

Stuy Town is expensive because of long time residents. People like me who move to Stuy Town and pay market rate are subsidizing the 500 dollar a month rent.

Wrong! Thats very rare that politicians go to their own private resort on their private plane every week like Bloombucks or Rupert Murdoch might or someone. I can name many many politicians who dont do that. Your a bloomberg fan?? Must be by the naive comment.
