"I don't have a problem with the mayor living there. The city doesn't need another museum--and this mansion makes a relatively boring one that few people visited anyway. If it doesn't have a specific purpose--like the mayor's residence--I can easily see it falling into ruin in the next 40 years. There's never any money to keep these beautiful old houses going otherwise--unless you've got a billionaire mayor."particleman [How Gracie Mansion Became New York's 'Little White House']
