5 Reasons Why Bill de Blasio Should Stay in Brooklyn Instead of Moving to Gracie Mansion
3) If You Think Park Slope Parents Are Bad, Then You Don’t Know UES Parents: One of the coolest thing about the de Blasio family is that both Dante and Chiara are products of the New York public school system.

While it might be normal for Brooklyn parents to take advantage of the excellent public school options in their neighborhoods, it’s somewhat unheard of for that to happen on the UES. And as easy as it is to mock Park Slope parents who obsess over what public school zone they live in, that kind of thing is far preferable to parents who shell out $40,000/year just to send their kids to a private Pre-K designed to get their kids on the path to Harvard.
