“People come to Times Square from all over the world because it is a little quirky and slightly chaotic and because there’s some allure to that”

Corey Johnson
Said : Corey Johnson, a City Council member whose district includes Times Square. 

New York Times reporter Patrick McGeehan, in his news article on increasing problem of topless women, known as desnudas, parading around Times Square, reported Johnson as saying that he and another councilman, Daniel R. Garodnick, were working on a bill that would limit when and where these women and also the costumed characters, can ply their trade. 

He told the NYT reporter that their model would be based on the “time, place and manner restrictions” the New York city has placed on street vendors in crowded areas of certain parks similar to the designated spots created for a limited number of sketch artists and other street vendors.

Mr. Johnson reportedly said "the goal was not to rid Times Square of the characters and other street hustlers but to rein them in so they do not drive away the throngs of tourists."


“People come to Times Square from all over the world because it is a little quirky and slightly chaotic and because there’s some allure to that but if it becomes unsafe and creepy, that becomes a problem that we have to address,” Johnson said as per the news.

Bill de Blasio
New York City, Mayor
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has acknowledged that his office had received complaints about these topless women for their aggressive solicitation of payment to pose for pictures. He placed them in the same category as the gaggle of costumed characters that have become nearly synonymous with predatory panhandling in and around Times Square. 
“Let’s face it. The women in Times Square, or the furry creatures in Times Square, are engaged in a business. We believe that that opens the door for us to enforce the way we would any other business. And we will do so, while still respecting constitutional rights.” Bill de Blasio
"I see the women parading around Times Square covered in little but body paint not as creative artists, but as pushy panhandlers whose efforts to separate tourists from their money should be regulated," the Mayor said.

“Beijing's only principle is power, and its only legitimacy for that power is economic growth. That's the implicit social contract it's struck with its people: you'll get rich, but you won't get rights.”

Said : Matt O'Brien, in his blog in The Washington Post of August 12, 2015. 


According to Matt, China's slowing economy has caused an exodus of $800 billion out of the country in 2014 alone. "This has made the yuan "want" to weaken," he writes, adding that the decline in the yuan was arrested by the government as it could easily afford to "spend some of its $4 trillion in reserves to keep it from falling."

Matt feels that China has been manipulating the yuan down for decades. But now, when the slow down in the economy has made the yuan "want" to weaken, Beijing wants a managed decline in the currency. A drop of 10 percent is not ruled out in small installments. The government is preventing the yuan from falling too far too fast. "China wants a weaker yuan, but on its terms," added Matt. He quoted Bloomberg economist Tom Orlik's observation in a note : "Our calculations suggest a 10% depreciation of the yuan would boost export growth 10 percentage points, but risk more than $400 billion in capital flight."
