24. I never would have voted for him either, as I only vote for democratic candidates.

Yeah, snow has always been a problem.

The other problem wiht unions is a direct result of the negative press after he was mayor, that John Lindsay got, getting blamed for giving too much to unions.

So the press made it impossible for anyone else to ever again be like John Lindsay.(who like the others all had snow problems.)

Now of course, there are more bad storms than ever, so the problem keeps existing.

What is hard in NYC (that I only noticed after moving to NJ) was that there is no place when it snows for cars to move to. In NJ, most people have driveways and there are laws state NO cars in street, so the plows come through, clearing everything.

as you know, streets in NYC are small, and with cars parked on both sides, there is no room to remove any snow.
