The New York Times - January 1, 1998

And for Giuliani's Second Act…

New York City cannot afford to enter the 21st century with antiquated land use and economic development policies. Our zoning regulations separate work and housing, despite the fact that many individuals prefer to live and work in the same building. With self-employment and small businesses on the rise, flexible living arrangements will be as important as skyscrapers were in the early 20th century. Furthermore, now that New York is a safe city, we need to make it an affordable place to live as well. The Mayor should stimulate housing construction in lower Manhattan and on the waterfronts of Queens and Brooklyn so that the middle class doesn't move to the suburbs.
