Mayor Bill de Blasioman of the people, member of the Prospect Park YMCAdoesn't want you staring into his new West Elm-decked digs. The mayor installed a white privacy fence inside the existing brick wall around Gracie Mansion, to the horror of many. "That brick fence was good enough for Rudy Giuliani and his family, and for Ed Koch and all the mayors before him," a source told the Post. The problem? Some say de Blasio was not too pleased with plebes shouting hello while he sat on his porch, but the official word is that it's "due to security concerns."
