The Challenge: The top of Invoice de Blasio’s eight-year tenure as mayor of New York Metropolis.
Michael Goodwin’s evaluation of Invoice de Blasio’s time period as mayor is spot-on, however I can’t assist however marvel how the person served not one however two phrases in workplace within the first place (“Finish of an Error,” Jan. 1).
Town, due to Mayor Putz, has returned to the Seventies. Except Mayor Adams rejects the wacky woke agenda of his get together, which has destroyed cities throughout America, New York Metropolis won't ever get better.
The insurance policies of de Blasio and the Democratic Occasion have failed miserably and have confirmed to be ineffective in combatting crime, homelessness and mental-health points. In truth, they make the issues worse and damage most the folks whom the Dems profess to advocate for — minorities and working-class households.

The excellent news is that not solely is de Blasio gone however, attempt as they are going to, the residents of New York Metropolis can't probably elect anybody worse going ahead. We've got hit backside; the one approach is up.
New Mayor Adams can obtain greatness if he has the backbone and intestinal fortitude to comply with his instincts and face up to the liberal stress he'll face when making powerful selections.
That will likely be an prompt breath of contemporary air for all of New York Metropolis.

Goodwin’s column on the departure of “New York’s worst mayor ever” misses one clear lesson: What a leftist authorities (working below the facade of “social justice”) will actual on any metropolis — filth, worry, rampant crime, dysfunction, corruption, the degradation of public schooling and, simply as important, the flight to a greater place of those that can afford it.
Social justice will likely be had once more in New York when its streets are free from rubbish, riots will not be tolerated, cops are revered and appreciated, criminals are put and saved in jail, bogus packages (e.g., “ThriveNYC”) are banished and youngsters are enrolled in public faculties to be taught, to not be indoctrinated and coddled.

What was going by the minds of those that forged votes for de Blasio for a second time period?
Did they actually imagine that issues had been going to get higher after his first 4 years of damaged guarantees and lackluster efficiency?
In addition to forsaking an economically challenged, crime-ridden metropolis, what are Hizzoner’s actual accomplishments?
He as soon as and for all eradicated the controversy of whether or not Abe Beame or David Dinkins was the worst mayor in New York’s fashionable historical past. That title is his, arms down.

Congratulations to the folks of New York Metropolis for being rid of de Blasio.
My spouse and I used to take pleasure in coming to New York, however after what de Blasio and his money-wasting spouse have performed to it throughout his two phrases, we really feel that the danger issue is way too nice.
With crime, riots, the pandemic and an absence of correct police safety, we simply mentioned “no extra.”
If issues return to regular below Mayor Adams, we could return. We'll wait and see.
The folks of New York Metropolis have chosen their new mayor correctly. They’re fed up with silly. They'd eight years of the worst administration in Gotham’s historical past.

Goodwin captured the eight years of mismanagement and incompetence that turned this nice metropolis right into a sewer.
It have to be a Democratic trait to take what works and is efficient and switch it to one thing inferior.
When cops turned their backs on de Blasio on the funeral of murdered officers, it was an sincere response to a mayor who by no means had their backs. It's the identical response that the folks of this state ought to present him in his delusional quest to run for governor.
It's at all times about him, not about service to the folks.
