 Comment : Gothamitis: Comment: The New Yorker
This mayor, who came to power as the ultimate entrepreneurial capitalist, has been willing to impose rules—from banning smoking in bars to cutting out the trans fats in pastries—that make the city the kind of place he thinks it ought to be.
The New York we imagine in 2030 is bound to be as different as this one is from the city we had in 1976, but we want it to be recognizably New York, mixed up, fragrant, and hopeful—middle-class in character, avant-garde in invitation, a place for plain people and pilgrims and plutocrats alike.
The Mayor has promised a “major public outreach effort” to hear what people want, and one of the things that most ordinary New Yorkers want is to feel at home in their city, and only the regulating structure of the city itself can make that possible.

 Journal Gazette | 03/26/2007 | New York City mayor is eyeing ’08, observers say   (Site not responding. Last check: )
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a self-made billionaire, has told friends more than once that his definition of good financial planning is making sure the check to the undertaker bounces when it’s finally time to go.
As fellow New Yorkers Rudolph Giuliani, a Republican, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Democrat, campaign vigorously across the country to become their parties’ nominees and prepare for what would be an electric general-election clash, Bloomberg is governing the “ungovernable city” — and patiently waiting in the wings.
But the founder of the Bloomberg financial news empire has dropped enough hints and has had enough tantalizing discussions with potential supporters that people who observe the city’s politics for a living are convinced he is at least thinking about it.
