I understand your sentiments about avuncular Harry but your illusion about his capacities as a Mayor are almost "Reaganesque". Just as the Gipper increased our national debt by a greater percentage than any  President since FDR, and yet was praised as a fiscal conservative, so Harry Kim is viewed as a trustworthy "safe" choice. He's not really.  
He doubled the  public employees in his 8 years, sucking up the boom year revenues, and didn't initiate or complete any major public infrastructure. His administration was noted as hands off of the generally weak appointed administrators.  Notable exception, Planning, that did its best to stall development and RPT, that was able to reassess properties aggressively to provided the taxes necessary to pay for all the new employees. 
But did he fund the public pension funds?
No, he left it for the kids. 
And by the way, ask him about going to Europe on his P-card....
