De Blasio is a disaster for NYC, sending it back in time, what a shame and this is coming from an Obama supporter.
It's really incredible how fragile the quality of life improvements made by Giuliani and maintained by Bloomberg are turning out to be. I jokingly made fun of my parents' comments (who lived in the city during the bad old days) for being too paranoid about the danger of one bad mayor when they talked about how he would take the city backward, so now I both get to see the city decaying and have egg on my face. I take the "I told you so"s pretty gracefully because man was I wrong.
Whatever I just rent so push comes to shove and things decay too much I can go back to the 'burbs.

Well, two more years and hopefully this idiot will get replaced by someone more competent. It's good we both are able to criticize politicians in the party we voted for... if more people were able to look beyond party lines, our politicians would be much more competent.
You arent part of this conversation, so it is best for you to go back through the thread and catch up before commenting, because we arent talking about NYC in that particular post.
Then you best back up and see you're in the wrong thread boy.
this is about Proglib DeBlasio and his corruption in NYC.

I hope you're right. I've heard too many people being supportive of DeBlasio explicitly because they want him to make the city a worse place to live again (in so many words) in the hope that it will drive down rent and roll back gentrification; that plus incumbency makes me concerned he'll win the next Democratic primary again and a Republican/Independent politician needs incredible luck and popularity to win in this city whoever the competition is. Best case scenario a competent centrist like Quinn (who probably would have made a third good mayor, alas) unseats him in the primary or runs as an independent and the Republicans get out of the way.
Democrats sacking public troughs for cronies. Newly created offices, agencies.
A new $150,000/yr. job for Stephanie Yazgi—the girlfriend of his strategist, Emma Wolfe. $105,000 per year for his digital director, Jessica Singleton, to shape his public image. A new Office of Sustainability (for “sustainability initiatives and green investments”); its director, Nilda Mesa, will get $179,870/year.
Nothing like a little income equality if you can avoid the dreaded private sector.

the OP is the one who brought it up in a response to me, so no, you would still be wrong.
This is why you should have read back a couple of post before responding.
Heck, you could have just read the quoted post, and saved yourself the trouble, but seeing as I already explained the situation to you, the fact that you even wrote this response didnt make sense other than to save face.
Was the girlfriend of his strategist, Emma Wolfe, genuinely the best person for the unposted job?
The dollar amount is what one would call middle class in NYC.
