I hope your blog post or call is what alerted her. Maybe you can contact Yoko about the misapprpriation of the Lennon quote for a commercial purpose without permission also.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018698439789288968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-39427985973293103342016-07-11T12:47:42.339-04:002016-07-11T12:47:42.339-04:00Something about "post-Bloombergian city"... Something about "post-Bloombergian city" bothers me. It suggests that only under Mayor Mike did real estate developers figure out that they could evict tenants, tear down blocks, and see rents skyrocket - something even akin to modern Berlin (where, to my knowledge, Bloomberg was not mayor at any time). Not that Mayor Mike helped slow down the rapacious eviscerating of our city's character for a second, but there was not really a pre-Bloombergian New York one could automatically identify. Mayor's Giuliani and Koch, particularly, played their parts in "cleaning up" what we know here as Gotham. Going back to Lindsay you had miles of projects that helped inform crime zones that sent many thousands out of the city looking for suburban Valhallas - nice places to die. So let's not generalize.<br /><br /> What we have here is a national problem - even a global one - and far too much population for certain comforts to thrive. Profiteers will continue to profit even so. Perhaps we should find out just who is paying for the promised empty privilege behind the innappropriately-gathered quote wall. Who really wants this stuff?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565030682360603009noreply@blogger.com
