I think this guy is destroying NYC.

De criminalizing public urination, shitting on the police, he's against Uber, failing public schools.

Shitting on police? So representing the views of the public (which is his job and who the police ultimately are supposed to serve and obey) and criticising NYPD's blind eye to police brutality (ie the impunity of Eric Garners killers) is a bad thing?

Why decriminalize public urination? Has there been a big outcry of people who want this done? Good lord could you imagine what *those* protests would look like?

To be fair gods could totally be battled in NYC.

Decriminilising shitting on cops? Man, that guy has some specific fetish.

"Shitting" on the police is an exaggeration. Let's not forget that those same poor, downtrodden cops also turned their backs on him even though they're supposed to give him their support. He's an elected official, he answers to the desires of his electorate, not to the sensitivities of a police union who won't recognize they have a problem with brutality and racial profiling.

If you look at public opinion in NYC, most of the electorate supports reform of the police. Most of the criticism of Deblasio comes from Conservatives outside of New York who really shouldn't have any say in how the city's police department is run or how the mayor deals with his employees.

I say we just wall the city off and leave it to its own devices.

Kurt Russel would escape. uhuh

On a serious note though, New York would be an interesting sovereign nation. It would be like an even more powerful and influential Hong Kong.

Edit: Holy shit, if NYC was its own country it would in theory be 12th in the world by GDP between Canada and Australia.

If it works for NYC, then we should do it with every large U.S city.

NYC produces nothing but debt and disparity. There is no value added with the stock market.

NYC has real estate, which makes up much of its economy and value. Every rich person in the world wants to have a place in New York City, whether to live in or not. That's a tremendous asset on its own.

I still don't get the public urination thing.

My guess is that it's for homeless people so that they're not constantly being arrested/clogging up jails/wasting police time.

Surtur
They need some of those bathrooms that pop up from underground.

Yeah. NYC has lots of EXPENSIVE Property but now its got urine all over it.

Homeless urine all over the ****ing place certainly hasn't stopped San Francisco's real estate from exploding in value.

I would put the rise of property values due to illegal shenanigans via local and federal politicians and corrupt businesses.


And your German.. Nun Orgies are kiddie shows to you.



Which is one reason why I don't want to move to San Fran.

Tzeentch
That's some pretty strong strong dissonance you have there.

I wasn't aware I stepped in some...*checks shoes*
