Dan "the Man"

Ah yes. Now the rehabilitation of Robert Moses' image makes total sense. We have his clone in our midst determining our future. And he doesn't want to have a book like The Power Broker written about him.

Modern-Day Robert Moses

Q: Can you name, say, your top two priorities for the next three years?

A: I don’t have top priorities. Certainly the development of Ground Zero and downtown and its progress; Hudson Yards would also be on that list. ...Willets Point, Long Island (City), Queens West. The Brooklyn waterfront is enormously important to us. In Jamaica, we are about to certify the largest rezoning in the city’s history.

I challenge Doctoroff to tell the voters and taxpayers of New York why he, as one person, should impose his values on our entire city of eight million.

He is no Robert Moses.

Maybe slayer "Buffy " should have driven a wooden stake through Robert Moses' heart (if he had one). Doctoroff is his reincarnation!

Let us not forget the rape of the north Queens communities that will be impacted by the expansion of the New York Times printing plant. The fact that he and his cohorts tried to hide the construction is despicable. He is certainly not an honorable man. When I see his picture it reminds me of this used car salesman who...
