It really is a tale of two cities — this time with the tony Upper East Side getting the shaft!
Huge swaths of the UES had been not been plowed by early Tuesday evening, according to the city’s own map of snow-plower activity.
“He is trying to get us back. He is very divisive and political,” said writer and life-long Upper East Side mom Molly Jong Fast of Mayor de Blasio.
“By not plowing the Upper East Side, he is saying, ‘I’m not one of them.’ But we have everyone in this area on the Upper East Side. We have rich people, middle class people, and housing projects. We have it all.”

Why can’t they just take the Subway?
This should be a bigger story than a bridge.
Government retaliation against citizens is becoming really common
He will appoint neighborhood organizers (aka political commissars) who will force all of the residents out to shovel the streets, otherwise their property will be declared public domain and seized by the people’s republic of NYC government.
Hannity is leaving New York for either Florida or Texas.
Had enough of communists and RINO aholes like Bloomturd.
His show’s new title “Escape from New York”.
For those on the Left Coast, it is “Escape from LA” (and SF and Oakland, etc).
Calling Kurt Russell. We have a followup sequel to Escape from NY. This time you rescue Sean Hannity and a surviving group of conservatives so that they can establish a resistance movement in the South.
Probably few to none. But only a tiny percentage of New Yorkers voted anyway, and this group could certainly not have outvoted those who were driven to the polls in the union or church buses.
All of them, I suspect.
Any one with any sense should be moving out of the lice infested town—NOW!
This is a made-up story. I have spent the past few hours in lower manhattan and brooklyn, and nothing seems out of the ordinary compared to previous storms. I haven’t been up to the UES, but I looked at the snow map (the one cited in the article), and there does not appear to be any difference between the UES and anywhere else in the city.
Bloomberg was notorious for having the area around his house (on the UES) plowed faster than anywhere else — the people who are complaining today are probably just used to that favorable treatment, and are complaining now that they’re not getting it.
Have a nice day!
Got a few bedbugs too, no?
Yeah, but in fairness, Bloomberg had to be able to get out in a hurry to catch his jet to the Caribbean every weekend.
I’d bet my last dollar everyone quoted in this article voted for him.
Serves them right.
This is why conservatives must move to red states and starve the socialists in the blue states.
It’s us or them.

First it started out Passive....
Now it is very much Passive Agressive....
Pretty soon it will turn Outright Agressive....
Hey... NYC... you voted for him... you live with it. Maybe next time a conservative might look good... if you stop believing the lies and open your eyes and ears.
He is selling out and leaving NY.
This Progressive idiot really knows who pays the bulk of the taxes, right? Hint, Wilhelm: it’s not the poor.
Heh, true. If memory serves, though, Bloomie was usually well on his way to the Caribbean before the first snowflakes fell.
