Is there any difference between this and what Christy is accused of doing with the bridge? Yes, there is no 24/7 media coverage of it. As if we really need another example of how slanted the MSM is.
"Huge swaths of the city’s wealthiest neighborhood had been not been plowed by early Tuesday evening, leaving 1-percenters out in the cold, according to the city’s own map of snow-plower activity."
“He is trying to get us back. He is very divisive and political,”
Well now they did say that the plower truck that was supposed to plow their streets had a broken GPS.
So I guess the driver couldn't find their streets if the GPS was broken right ?
DeBlasio blasted Bloomberg for leaving the poor areas unplowed in previous storms.
But this time those areas were cleared to the pavement right off the bat.
Ironically 30 years later I was living in the Seattle area, when Mayor Greg Nickles (a Chicago native) was also ousted over snow failure. Nickles had environmental concerns about snow removal, and even uber liberal Seattle voters gave him the boot after that.

Yes, I was living in Chicago at the time. In Bilandic's defense, we had a truly horrific winter that year and the snow just piled up week after week until there was no place to put it anymore. Chicago side streets were rarely plowed in those days unless you were lucky enough to have an alderman or precinct captain living in the neighborhood.
City streets in densely packed urban areas are difficult to keep clear when there is more snow than normal because there are so many vehicles to work around and so little space to put the snow. Bilandic's real downfall was not so much that the city wasn't able to deal with the inordinate amount of snow, but that he had a very blasé attitude about the whole thing. I don't see that in De Blasio.

I heard about this on MSNBC, early this morning. They also mentioned that city workers used to hand shovel the streets in front of some east side town homes. The 1 % club is by no means concentrated on the upper east side. The area does however trend Republican.
