There's a fascinating statistic: One out of every four people in America has visited New York since 9/11. It is astounding. Now, I don't know how you count it it's some people coming multiple times.

Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion?

I know that many Irish-born New Yorkers are caught in the trap of our federal immigration policies. If we are going to continue to attract the best and the brightest - and Ireland has more than its fair share - we need to inject some common sense into our immigration laws, and I'm doing my best to make that case in Washington.
Michael Bloomberg
I think it's a sign that the establishment is going to have to change. For too long they never thought about the average person, because the average person is not organized.
Michael Bloomberg
I don't know why people carry guns. Guns kill people.
Michael Bloomberg
I'd love to have a president who really was out there leading and traveling around the world campaigning for joint climate change action. Even the Chinese government is trying to get people to stop polluting. And I think the federal government level in China is acting more responsibly than the American government.

Like Israel, New York City's history has been defined by immigrants who come in search of freedom and the opportunity to build a better life. And like Israel, New York City has remained a target for terrorists who seek to destroy that freedom
Michael Bloomberg
Design does matter. And not necessarily in a way that people realize. A lot of what you do, people take for granted - that a park has always been here, that a bicycle lane has always been there, that the street is safe or clean.
Michael Bloomberg
Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.
Michael Bloomberg
I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism every day.
Michael Bloomberg
The governor of Texas was a real climate change, well, skeptic would be a nice way of phrasing it. Still, though, Texas is a leader in renewables. So, what I care about is what politicians are actually doing, not what they are saying.
Michael Bloomberg
Even though New York is the safest big city in the nation, there are still far too many illegal guns on our streets. Nearly all of them arrive from out of state - and most are sold by a small group of rogue gun dealers who refuse to obey federal laws.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control.
Michael Bloomberg
You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world.
Michael Bloomberg
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.
Michael Bloomberg
By speeding the transition to cleaner energy, we can improve the lives of billions of people, while also reducing the risks we face from a changing climate.
Michael Bloomberg
Politicians generally respond to who is going to help them get elected and re-elected.
Michael Bloomberg
Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
Michael Bloomberg
What has changed is that people have stopped working together.
Michael Bloomberg
There is no accountability today... no willingness to focus on big ideas.
Michael Bloomberg
I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.
