City Costco Gets Bloomberg's Backing

Submitted by Manhattan Downtowner, Jul 30, 2008 16:29

Bloomberg is totally against the heart and soul and culture of NYC which consists of New York's small businesses. Competition? Costco would simply drive all the local small grocers and hardware stores out of business the way Wal-mart has done it all over the country! Congestion pricing in London, another Bloomberg idea, has already caused countless small and independent businesses to fold. Bloomberg is anti-small business in every sense of the phrase, and in that sense, he is anti-New York. Bloomberg, keep your visions to yourself, and stay away from NYC's small businesses!
