Under Bloomberg, NYC has turned from a police state into a full-fledged nanny state.
- rayiner 14y agoTo be fair, it's also much nicer to live in (at least for white people) than it ever has been. New York before it became a police state was basically Gotham City.
- twoodfin 14y agoWhat's the marginal improvement under Bloomberg vs. Giuliani's last year in '01? I remember NYC as being in pretty good shape by that point. Has livability improved substantially because of the Bloomberg Nanny State stuff? Smoking bans are pleasant for some, but most everywhere has those now. Though I do have the impression that Bloomberg has done yeoman's work on public education.
- koenigdavidmj 14y agoUnless you have certain melanin levels, in which case it is still a police state too.
- w1ntermute 14y agoOh, it's still a police state as well, no doubt. It has probably gotten worse under Bloomberg.
