He’s already moved the city “in that direction.” The decay over just the last two years convinces me he will give both Dinkins and Lindsey a run for the title of worst ever if he manages to get reelected.
That would be an enormous accomplishment if he managed to return the murder rate back to the early ‘90s levels or drove a million productive citizens out of the city. I’m not discounting that he is an awful Mayor, because he is, only that there would be no tolerance at this point to return it back to the days when it was an absolute hellhole.
