Now more of the Mark Simone show on 710 W0R.

Filling in for Mark, here again is Ken Rosado.

Hey, good to be with you.

Let's go straight to the phones.

Peter in Harlem.

Good morning.

You're on the Mark Simone show.

Yes, good morning.

It's a pleasure to listen to you.

I have a comment.

New York is dead.

The fact is that the stores are all run by people that are unfortunately

from other countries, so when the developers come in, they can kick them out right away. The East

Village, it's Chinatown. Harlem is another, I mean, what's going on? And they want to blame it

on crime, but it's not crime it's greed do you have any

comments sir yeah i agree i don't think you're wrong at all sir look i i i've been here i've

lived in or around new york city my entire life with maybe a three four-year exception i was in

miami i'm 58 i went to grammar school high school college here so uh i know what you're talking

about i've seen it go through all

the different iterations and it's almost unrecognizable right now the thing is you need somebody

who is a leader who will take charge of the city and change things we've seen it go bad and then go

good and unfortunately i think we chose the wrong guy to change that but i appreciate the call
