Yabba-dabba-don’t.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is preparing to take New York City back to the stone age — by making “glass and steel” skyscrapers extinct.
Still flirting with a run for president, the mayor held an Earth Day press conference on Monday to announce his plan to fight climate change with a “Green New Deal” — including a bill designed to eliminate new glass-fronted towers from the city skyline.
“We are going to introduce legislation to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming,” de Blasio said.
“They have no place in our city or our Earth anymore.”
Despite Hizzoner’s insistence on repeatedly using the word “ban,” he later admitted his legislation would actually just tighten the city’s energy code to make it prohibitively expensive to develop glassy high-rises.
“It’s literally going to be a much higher standard and the only way that kind of design would even be acceptable is with a whole host of other changes were made to compensate because those buildings were inherently very inefficient,” he said.

There is no place on earth for corrupt, leftist politicians either.
Can a Mayor be recalled, or removed due to mental instability?
Is there a contest to see who can come up with the dumbest proposal in this country? So far, this one is way ahead
Villhem is first in the crazy line today!
The majority of NYC are buttwipes. They like him
And the USA is now dictated to by low information, illiterate voters who can't even compose a legible sentence. They are the reason we wind up with cleaning ladies and ex bartenders in Congress.
That was going to be my second comment on this thread! You beat me to it! I swear, there has to be a contest. And I do believe it’s weekly
So... where would NYC businesses relocate to and what infra-structure would it need to maintain its status quo?
Rail access, deep water port, robust granite foundation...
Wouldn’t be easier to apply a new mayor or perhaps a CEO appointed by a select board of directors? Do cities even need mayors?
The muzzies thought the same thing on 9/11.
Oh, he won.
No question about it.
Are there term limits for that job?
Just when you thought these idiots couldn’t possibly get any stupider, this is your leader?
Waiting until he proposes demolishing the entire NYC area and building it to his standards...including the development of the former JFK, and LaGuardia airports, since air travel will no longer exist!
Yes this clown is just a hopeless a-hole but the world has always had them. The problem is the largest city in the country elected him mayor..twice.
The mayor wants to bring back thatched huts and horse drawn buggies. What a tool.
Or blue tarpped homeless tents. Oh wait. They already have them.
SPJNK.
