Upon his swearing in two years ago, Mayor Bill DeBlasio swore to kill the 150 year old NYC tradition of horse drawn carriages in Manhattan NYC. Today it's all over NYC news that "special interested realtors" contributed to DiBlasio's campaign. Horses presently reside in several West Side horse stables, which owners say are not for sale. You got it. Prime, desirable NYC property that might become condos.
