Mayor Eric Adams had no idea how rotten the Big Apple was at its core before taking office — telling The Post he was “shocked” to learn just “how bad this place is.”

During an exclusive interview conducted as Adams rode the subways overnight for more than three hours last week, the former NYPD transit cop said he was astounded by the botched “deployment of resources” that has New Yorkers on edge amid a nearly 40 percent surge in major crimes this year.

I’m sorry Eric but is this your first visit to NYC? It’s been on a downward trajectory since Rudy left.

I haven’t been there since 2015. But I just don’t believe it’s gone that far downhill. Look at this image, from 2021:

No crack addicts, no garbage, nothing but happy people going about their business as normal.
