stop disrespecting the gawd bill thompson
Thompson is actually not terrible. If de Blasio wasn't running, I'd have voted for him. He's the 2nd most progressive candidate.

so in other words he's not as bad as Blasio, that's good to know
Ok... he doesn't really have much of a chance either way, though.

Next to Christine Quinn he's the worst candidate possible. He has always been one of those "there aint enough welfare" type of politicians.
Lhota all day!

shyt like this makes me wonder...
How much can a mayor REALLY do
Cause Bloomberg def sped up gentrification. But even w/o that, there would still be huge income inequalities in NYC. Its not like its a bubble completely unaffected by the national economy

What is Mr. Thompson promising, breh?
We need to get these Unions strong again, breh
I've always been wary of the "growing income inequality" picture that is painted for NYC. Reason being cause I know my entire community was a part of NYC middle class in the 90s. We were/are the families that crossed into LI for access to better school systems. So I'm like eh....saying the middle class "disappeared" seems a little disingenuous (though its true when the area discussed is defined by geography).
Secondly, and I have to read up on this, addressing inequality across the city is going to require a borough by borough approach. So although the mayor must take the first step, the borough presidents have to be competent. With that said, I'm watching the Queens Borough president race. (nikkas like
so there's a mayoral race AND the borough presidents race at the same time. Why ain't the news talking about those folks either 
)
