I guess a lot of people like to live under despotism.

Bloomberg is getting the yuppie playground he envisioned.

Back when they tried to implement “congestion pricing” in lower Manhattan (which failed) I suggested that NYC fight its own wars rather than counting on the blood of people who can’t even afford the tolls into the city.

I’m barely ten miles from NYC (I can’t see it from my house, but I can with a 5 minute walk up a hill); I haven’t been there in over 10 years, and don’t intend to ever again.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

-CS Lewis

If I had to live in a city I would choose Detroit over nearly any other because what it lacks in safety it more than makes up for in freedom.
