We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I'll remember about New York is growing up really fast.
Too many people take New York for granted. The primary reason is that history is not taught. That's outrageous in a city where the past is still visible.
Those who remember New York in the 1970s, as I do, look back on a city that had hit a very rough patch - decaying, bankrupt, and crime-ridden. But fun.
But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.
The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.
I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.
In the early '90s, New York was a pretty depressing place.
Well the thing is that the New York of 1846 to 1862 was very different from downtown New York now. Really nothing from that period still exists in New York.
When I came to America, there was a lot of decadence in New York in the early '70s because the city was bankrupt and you could do whatever you want!
With the spirit of my administration, New York City is poised for dramatic change. The era of fear has had a long enough reign.
