These endless legal challenges that define elections in New York are a joke in this country, and they are the reason why it is so expensive, or one of the reasons, it's so expensive to run here and why so many people decide not to run.
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
I have two daughters that are the loves of my life and I want to leave them a better world, a better country, a better state and a better city.
Michael Bloomberg
You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
