Thanks for pointing out the Charter Revision changes.

The old Board of Estimate had its problems, but killing its power wasn't great either.

The City of Greater New York (the enlarged City from 1898 on) had a kind of federalism which was important with such a diverse population. Now even more power is concentrated in Manhattan. This is difficult in a city which is more populous than many states.
