2. South of House-ton?

or uptown?



anyway, I saw this in the Post -

"Mayor de Blasio touted the city’s safety and his plan to reduce emissions in the Big Apple at two global conferences in Midtown on Monday.

The mayor quickly attacked President Trump for backing out of the Paris climate accords at the first event, a meeting of the C40 Climate Leadership Group, and talked up his plan to fine city building owners if they don’t meet emissions goals.

He blamed businesses in the city for not offering suggestions that may have made pushing for a new emissions law unnecessary.

“We spent several years talking to our colleagues in the business community, in the private sector, looking for voluntary measures that would work, looking for enough progress to not necessitate a mandate, but we did not see it,” he said.

“Meanwhile, the Earth was waiting and meanwhile, our national government was going in the wrong direction.”

At the second event, the Global Mayors Summit at the Grand Hyatt, he noted that New York is “now the safest big city in America” — a point of pride since at least as early as 2013, the year before de Blasio became mayor."

and I don't see what's not to like!

I mean, the guy's starting a program to help the poor get affordable housing, and the Times ripped him a new one saying it isn't working, rather than point out he is one of the few big city Mayors even trying to help these people.

But, I am a distant spectator...
