He concentrated on quality of life issues: Get the hobos off the street, jail the muggers, no graffiti,don't cater to fringe political groups, instead cater to businesses, give sales tax holidays...and what do you know? Suddenly New York became a GREAT place to live.
Cities that emulated this prospered, those that didn't suffered.

Great place to live? Where the cops perform 100,000 "stop and searches" a year, where you need a special permit just to own a firearm for defense, where it's almost impossible to drive around, and where the cost of living is so freakin' crazy that a 3 br apt in Harlem costs $1000+ a month?
Seriously...
PS: Bloomberg is one of THE most anti-gun politicians EVER.
