This man is the mayor of NYC?
Those who live in that city should be ashamed and walk with their heads down for a generation (at least).
If residents of NYC say it’s not their fault, that the city is corrupt; I say it is their fault for not putting an end to the corruption.
The middle class moved out long ago (for the most part). Dad moved us out in 1964 as it was becoming a sewer The very rich and very poor live there. Others commute. It is a full time job putting an end to the corruption. It has gotten much worse since I moved out at age 15.
I would never consider attempting to fix that place. For the past few years I thought it possible to fix the state. But alas the corruption is too great for that to. I will leave asap but as this is a family matter if could take a few years
