Bloomberg is great. Giuliani was great. Hopefully we reelect Bloomberg or another strongly pro-Wall Street, pro-captalism, pro-wealth candidate. Hopefully the next mayor topples the monstrosity public housing complexes.

If bloomberg somehow weasled his way into another term, I'd be liable to catch a felony assault on a random stranger. So for the sake of some poor unsuspecting soul, let's go ahead and not wish that...
The only way to "topple" the monstrosity public housing complex is to partially privatize it. And considering the entire mortgage industry/speculation meltdown which has crippled the global economy, I don't see a tidal wave of politicians clamoring for this.
However, considering we have massive and unsustainable debt, it may be something considered in the next decade...at least a partial privatization, heavily regulated.

Noticed many more people are digging in garbage cans searching for bottles and cans to deposit. There's a whole bottle and can "market" on 11th Ave near the Javits Center. You'd think this was a third-world country.
And at only 5 cents a pop, it sadly shows that many poor folks are willing to work hard, but the opportunities just aren't there. Even worse, the manufacturing industries that use to support these unskilled newcomers contune to leave.
I hate the litter created by these people who rip open garbage bags and empty trash cans on the sidewalk, but I am also humbled by them, and their actions contradict the feeling shared by some people that all poor people are lazy and placed themselves in their terrible situations.
