    would like to remind those of you who have not lived in this city before 1990 to consider that it is not possible to wear filp-flops and talk, loudly, on your I-phones, on New York City streets that are strewn with glass and patrolled by a zombie horde of homeless criminals who have nothing to do all day but look out for stupid flip-flop wearing, cell phone jabbering idiots to steal from. The conditions that make your existence in this city possible are quickly evaporating. Those conditions would be, low crime rates, economic opportunity, a functioning MTA (that is a mass transit system where people aren't killed weekly). Otherwise please return to the safety of your suburban malls where is is possible to wear flip-flops, talk on your I-phones and not worry about getting robbed, clobbered or cutting your feet on glass. Otherwise please realize that the battle between the "bottom feeders" and normal society (that you take for granted) is an important one.

    You're kidding, right?

    @OrneryBabe:


    Erm, no. Try going to Penn Station at 2am and hang out there for a while. Then you'll appreciate the thin line that exists between reasonable safety and chaos.

    @Paddington: Many of the people hanging out at Penn Station and Port Authority at 2:00 a.m. need serious mental health care. If Skyler were a true hero, then he would stop arresting those who offend his delicate sensibilities and, for instance, find the squeegee men some legitimate work.

    This new American Psycho needs to smoke a joint and kick back. Any privileged person's outrage over a bottom feeder's survival disgusts me.

    The stench of Giuliani wafts from this guy Skyler like an August wind off the Bronx Terminal Market Dumpsters. Have we so quickly forgotten what it's like to have someone in City Hall who runs the city according to his personal whims?

    Let's coin a "How'm I doin'?" catchphrase for the 8' 9" Skyler. I'll start:


    "How's the weather up here?"

    Here is how are previous Mayors would have handled this:


    Koch would have squeegeed the squeegee guy while the Mayor berated him for being so "vile and filthy... and hot".


    Guiliani, on the other hand, would have conducted an undercover investigation to arrest the quality of life destroying squeegee guys. Of course, the investigation would have -- coincidentally -- required the Mayor to dress in drag for a period of weeks.

    @resipsaloquacious: And Dinkins would have stared at the squeegee guy for a half hour and then said "that guy is breaking the law." Then he would sign a 99-year guaranteed contract for sanitation.

    "Finally white dudes driving through the South Bronx being inconvenienced by people have a voice in city hall." Comes a little too late for Sherman McCoy :(
