“There’s old ladies in my building that don’t got nothing,” a man told the billionaire. He continued, “Mr. Bloomberg, this is the first drop-off site. Over the bridge we can't get a bottle of water, a hot chocolate, a coffee, nothing.”
The Mayor replied, “You know, we're trying to do it as fast as we can.”

Where is the help from the city? Where are the resources? Why didn't the mayor's office set aside allocation in the budget for these catastrophes? Stop budgetting for office buildings with your name written on. Stop playing politics through peoples livelihood. Lease out hotels for these people to get out of the elements. NYC should be able to afford this. Get the trash picked up in the affected areas 1st by cutting back trash pickup in non-affected areas. Just one area at a time can afford to miss one pickup, even if it happens once every two weeks. Get city, state, business people to spend one day a week to clean up in these affected areas. It takes more than a neighborhood, more than a city, more than a state, it takes a Nation. Bloomberg take your coat off and give it to another!
