NEW YORK CITY-Mayor Rudy Giuliani gave his final State of the City Address last night in City Hall. He covered a multitude of topics, promising financing and support for construction projects from housing projects to school athletic fields. His speech covered projects in every borough of the city from the creation of parks to plans for new museums. This was perhaps the most ambitious of his addresses.

One of the first projects he mentioned was the creation of a DNA lab at Bellevue Hospital for the NYPD. “We’ll do everything we can to get this laboratory built,” he promised. Also in support of public safety, he will have cameras installed at five more housing developments. He said the poor should have the same security afforded the wealthy in private housing.

On the subject of housing the mayor said, “I’ve got a deal that I want to make.” Waving a copy of Reducing the Cost of New Housing Construction in New York City by New York University’s Center for Urban Policy, he said he wanted to follow their recommendation and eliminate crime from the construction process. His deal is if he can get reforms passed on this issue, the city could add $1.2 billion to its spending.
