Rich taking over the city, poor paying for it
amNY
From Letters to the Editor:
If you want to know why so much over-building is going on, why there are so many tax breaks to the rich baseball teams, and the 'eminent domain law' being used to get rid of small businesses and renters, you can look no further than the mayor's 'ex' deputy mayor, billionaire Dan Doctoroff.
It is doubtful that the mayor can think of all this by himself. They're both getting richer by "killing" the poor. One would think monies would be available to fix the transit system, create affordable housing and give the parks back to the people, instead of giving it all to the rich. What a legacy for Bloomberg.

NoLandGrab: We're pretty sure that the ex-Deputy Mayor is not a billionaire. Yet.
