“I understand the frustrations of New Yorkers who find themselves
alternately confronted by problems and progress. One subway train is
a brand new adventure in 21st-century transportation but the one
right behind is a disheartening ride with grime and graffiti.
But slowly, yet steadily,
we are gaining ground and the
odds favor progress.
“New York today is what it has always been: it’s the world's No. 1
arena for genius, it’s the battleground of new ideas. New York is the
city where the future comes to rehearse, where the best come to get
better. We’re the leading city because we are the city of leaders.
If you're trying for the top, you cannot top New York.
