Comments on: Which Upper West Side Block Loves Bloomberg the Most? http://westsideindependent.com/2009/11/11/which-upper-west-side-block-loves-bloomberg-the-most/ News about the Upper West Side of New York Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:35:21 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: westsider http://westsideindependent.com/2009/11/11/which-upper-west-side-block-loves-bloomberg-the-most/comment-page-1/#comment-400 westsider Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:30:47 +0000 http://westsideindependent.com/?p=2235#comment-400 This is reflective of New York's widening gap between the rich and the poor. The demographics of those blocks are reflective of the city's chasm between the haves - who adore Bloomberg the billionaire - and the have-nots who have been totally left out of his vision of Metropolis. The Trump buildings are multi-million dollar condos with Hudson River views and rentals where studios go for $2500 a month. 93rd and 94th between Broadway and Amsterdam is occupied by De Hostos Towers, an NYC Housing Authority project. 62nd to 65th between West End Avenue and Columbus is dominated by the Amsterdam Houses - another low income Moses Era housing project. It's no surprise that the wealthy adore Bloomberg and the poor despise him. The more interesting data would be where the middle class stands - what's left of them on the Upper Westside anyway.
