Did de Blasio ruin New York City?

I think maybe he just helped everyone realize how mediocre a city it always was.

Yes he did! Crime is more than double. He keeps adding programs like more free food, but then can't balance the budget. People are moving out of the city in droves. He marches with the protesters while trying to lead the city. The left and the right hate him. I don't know who still likes him!

But what was so great about NYC before?

I love New York! My apartment is the attic of a dollhouse. We spend our time walking fast on the streets, bumping into people and swearing at them. All my friends are rats!

Not much just until about a month ago there were free bus rides.

At this point, New Jersey beats New York on everything. Better bagels, more New Yorkers...

I think de Blasio thinks of NYC as a city state with autopilot.

New York's entire identity is composed of performative New Yorkness.

Absolutely. Even if NYC was a success due to a myth as long as that myth was perpetuated it all kept going. He drove away Broadway and most of Wall Street which the city needs to survive.

Well, he danced on stage on Times Square so I guess everything is OK now.

Welcome to the world of 2022! Adams is mayor now so stop talking about de Blasio.
