I don’t blame him. Whoever comes next has a lot of annoying shit to deal with and messes to clean up. Nutter can just go for bike rides and collect a pension rather than deal with any of that if he doesn’t run again.

He dealt with the occupy performance art and the biggest recession that wasn't a depression and he steered the city through it.

I just wish the next mayor does the Obama thing and listens to their predecessors and cherry picks the best advice.

Also listen to Sam Katz, it works better if you hear an opposing point of view every once in a while.
