Of course I was very opposed to the cleanup of Times Square. Not that I loved Times Square to begin with, but it was part of New York. One of the many horrible things Giuliani has done is to make tourism the primary business of New York. When you make a place more hospitable to tourists than to its citizens, you’ve turned it into a Third World country. And as is true in any other Third World country, once tourists take over, no one ever stops to think what happened to the indigenous people. In Manhattan, you may ask, where are our hookers? Where are our 3-card Monte dealers? They’re gone.
