A notably unhappy Michael Bloomberg just announced that Dan Doctoroff is leaving City Hall, saying, "Dan brought muscle to economic development.

Bloomberg also said that "unlike Robert Moses, Dan did it by working with the communities, not bulldozing them."

UPDATE: He's going to become president of Bloomberg L.P., the mayor said.
