Reply to comment by Santier in New tree plantings in NYC fall to lowest level in 15 years by King-of-New-York

He was the best mayor this city ever had. He got hate because people reeling from the financial crisis misdirected their anger at him because he was a billionaire.

Agreed. He wasn’t trying to be popular (Koch). Wasn’t trying to be a tough guy (Gulliani). Didn’t need to be a celebrity (Adams). And he actually was a no nonsense effective executive (unlike Dinkins and D’Blasio) that got shit done. Now not everyone agreed with him, but he took the job seriously and actually had the skills to do it.

How much money did he spend on attack ads for trump even when he knew he wasn't going to win. Just because he didnt like trump and he had the money.
