And for all of... Was he with the Cuomo campaign?

No, he was not.

But my... That's just bad humor.

Bad humor.

But my point is that we get on the train and we see this, and this is an illustration of the fact.

There are about 4,300 New Yorkers who are homeless between our subway platforms, our parks, our streets.

There's almost the same number of vacant supportive housing units that are built for those very kinds of New Yorkers experiencing homelessness.

They're vacant.

And so I tell this to you as an example.

It's not all going to be about a fight for funding or a fight for transforming city government in the ways that are only big.

It's also the ways that are small, the efficiency of the bureaucracy.

Because that is an example to New Yorkers that we have a city government that's complacent with the fact that one in four New Yorkers are living in poverty in the wealthiest city in the country.

That's unacceptable.

And it's interesting how much New Yorkers judge the quality of life in New York City from the quality of life under New York City.

I can remember the subways in the bad old days.

Let me tell you a story.

But when I first moved here in the more chaotic days, back when I was a purveyor of, I guess you would call them, recreational park vendors.

We would buy from their, let's say, cart.

Don't tell me this after January 1st.

No, no, no.
