realizm Posted January 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2014 Bill de Blasio claimed his place as the 109th mayor of New York City shortly after 1 p.m. on Wednesday, delivering an inaugural address at City Hall in front of luminaries like Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as hundreds of ordinary New Yorkers. “We are called to put an end to economic and social inequalities that threaten to unravel the city we love,” Mr. de Blasio said. “And so today, we commit to a new progressive direction in New York. And that same progressive impulse has written our city’s history. It’s in our DNA.” Mr. de Blasio, 52, was formally sworn in shortly after midnight in a brief ceremony in front of his family’s rowhouse in Park Slope, Brooklyn.Read More: Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted January 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2014 I feel really sorry for this city with this extreme far leftist... Real shame Bill Thompson wasn't elected in the primaries. I supported Lhota and would've even if Thompson won but at least he was more moderate. DeBlasio makes Obama look like a "teabagger". PS, I would appreciate it if you don't downvote just because you don't agree with what I just said. I don't downvote posts from DeBlasio supporting posters on here unless they are threatening me or others or saying something racist or discriminating.

Grand Concourse Posted January 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 1, 2014 I'll hold my judgments till he's served a full year. I'm not in favor of that universal pre-k thing and the outright horse carriage ban. He also seems very soft on unions which worries me a bit. But Andrew Cuomo did surprise me (before the anti gun stance), so maybe if he scales back the far left stuff, I can deal with deblassio too.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2014 lol... This city is going to turn into the armpit that it was when Dinkins was mayor. Giuliani had to come in and clean up his mess. With him being so anti "Stop & Frisk", watch crime go up... Scary times ahead, that's for sure.

realizm Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted January 2, 2014 If all the lobbyists can agree to a spirit of bipartisanship where it relates to handling critical issues concerning us as New Yorkers which are unique to us and us only, then I can say safely that this administration can work. As Grand Concourse has said, we will have to wait and see how this one turns out as it progresses. I mean look at what's happening in the US Congress? We certainly would not want this sort of infighting and bickering to occur in the Albany either. It's bad as it is now and well, improvements are expected to be made by us everyday NYers in terms of leadership over a global power city. I think what I am trying to say is that I could care less what political affiliation you are as a person serving the greater need of New York, make it work to the benefit of all not a select few and I will be content. However it will be difficult to please everyone straight across all economic classes. We may have to bite the bullet and show some support. It is what it is, the majority of New Yorkers wanted this man in office. Let's see how he performs during his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 2, 2014 For two long decades the views of the right have been ignorantly catered to, leaving the commoners to otherwise fend for themselves. For twenty years the gap on inequality throughout city residents has widened, exposing the great divide that exists and has only managed to grow further. It's been too damn long, it's about time for residents to usher in a new wave of leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems coming from a clash between interests between economic classes. That needs to stop, totally agree, compromises may need to be made here.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2014 All I know is de Blasio talks a good game, but most of what he wants to do costs money and that means more taxes for somebody... Doesn't like "Stop & Frisk". Ok, fine... How will the streets remain safe unless the administration spends much more money to hire more cops? He wants to expand pre-k... Sure... More money... Wants to create affordable housing... Sure... More money for that too... This guy is looking to do nothing more than un-do the good deeds that Bloomberg did, particularly continuing to get rid the endless handouts for welfare recipients that existed during the Dinkins' period that Giuliani came in and got under control. So in short fewer people will be working, more handouts will be coming and the upper middle class and working professionals such as myself will be paying more... The same people he calls "rich"... Sounds like a familiar theme from someone else who said he was going to tax the "wealthy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose some would rather the disadvantage not be given the ability to rise from their current low standing. It must be as that's what the past leadership had wanted.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #13 Posted January 2, 2014 Can't let the poor die in the streets either however. We need to keep that in mind. The poor have been moving elsewhere to places that they can afford... Pretty simple concept... Supply and demand... With Obamacare coming into play, how in the heck are companies supposed to pay workers more when they're paying out of the nose through tax hikes which is essentially what Obamacare is? Therefore this is what you get... More and more people dependent upon "gubment" to "fix" their situation.... Anywho, looks like we're off to a fantastic start under this mayor... Wild night last night...

Is someone else besides de Blasio the mayor now?? Last I checked he was against "Stop & Frisk" so let's see how well his plan works... So far not off to a good start... It's a well known fact that the city has cut back on the police force for years due to budgetary constraints, so obviously the only way to deal with crime is to hire more cops if you don't favor Stop & Frisk... That needs more money... Ahem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was New Years Eve last night, people got a bit a bit inebriated, tensions flew and it did get out of hand. That's no fault of anyone. You have resorted to mudslinging in an attempt to bring politics into it. Now, since you like to talk about stop and frisk why don't you go down to 50th precinct and asked to get felt up by your fellow officers, since you seem to grow ecstatic over the premise.

I think that has more to do with the tensions that would naturally come about because of New Years Eve if you think about it.

Then the NYPD officers, more adept at handling community-sensitive issues will become more effective law enforcement officials as a result because they will gain the stronger trust of the community.
