Bloomberg is Small

Dear Sue,


The mayor of New York City has exhibited himself to be a most paradoxical creature: the provincially minded snob.


"Buffalo would love to have our problems. There's an awful lot of free space in Buffalo, New York, if you want to go there. I don't think you do." New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, yesterday. 


While its unimaginable to Bloomberg, there are lots of us up here living nice full lives. Ex New Yorkers, no less.  By choice. Not by horrible happenstance. The mayor of Buffalo is from... Queens. 


Buffalo still has a middle class. NYC is great if you're really really rich. Like Bloomberg.
