If Mike wanted a vanity project, think how far $1B would have gone in helping homeless people in New York. $1B would run a sizable shelter with some medical assistance and a trade school for a few years.
Nice thought, but that isn't how it works in NYC or with the liberal establishment.
The liberals helping Mike develop this project in NYC would have siphoned off most Mike's billion (directly or indirectly) into their personal accounts leaving him with a hollowed out shelter occupied by rats.
Steyer is in the same boat - spent 1/5 of his wealth on his failed-from-the-start campaign. It’s the height of narcissism.
