Bloomberg: Lack of Housing Is a ‘Good Sign’ -- Daily Intelligencer

Who raised this callous,  cold hearted man?  "

Mayor Bloomberg has never been known for his tact, but he's really letting his out-of-touch rich guy flag fly now that his twelve-year reign is almost at its end. Back in September, he repeatedly expressed his desire to "get every billionaire around the world to move" to New York, which he believes would be "a godsend" for the city. Yesterday, on his weekly radio show, Bloomberg addressed the topic of affordable housing for New Yorkers of more modest means. "Somebody said that there’s not enough housing. That’s a good sign," he explained. "As fast as we build, more people want to live here. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem. But there are no vacancies. And that will bring in investment for people to build at all income levels different kinds of housing."
