when i became mayor of new york city the new york times took a poll. and the poll said 60% of the people in new york city don't want to live in new york city anymore. they want to live somewhere else if we could. 65% of the people in new york city felt new york city was going in the wrong direction. that is the most disturbing thing that can possibly happen because it means people started to lose hope. when people start to lose hope they don't create great things anymore. what i wanted was to change them. by the time i left office we had a new york city in which roughly the opposite of that. 70% wanted to be there and like being there. 70% thought new york city was going in the right direction and not the wrong direction. often think that in new york city with the depressed attitude we had in the early 90s would have had a much harder time overcoming as quickly the tremendous damage done to us by the attacks of september 11th. it helped new york city that when we were attacked we were a strong and confident city, and optimistic city. a city that the le
