I shouldn’t say this, I do want to see my home value skyrocket, but Lhota would be well served if he sent every voter in the city DVDs of these two movies, Death Wish and Taxi Driver. It would give everyone a taste of what’s to come. In Times Square you can say goodbye to Disney, and hello again hookers, peep shows, and junkies.
Also, Serpico. The problem is that many residents of the city are too young to remember the bad old days and they come from other states so they don’t have relatives reminding them of how it was. They are clueless, like little children.
And then there are those voters who do remember the pre-Giulianni days and who did vote for him then, but who are so blinded by their hatred of republicans now that they will vote for DeBlasio out of spite even though it’s not in their best interest as New Yorkers.
I wonder what the squeegie toll will be? $5.00? $20?
