Over the last decade, we voted him into City Hall twice, made him a punching bag on a regular basis and turned to him for leadership during one of the lowest points in the city’s history — the COVID-19 pandemic.
By now, almost everyone has an opinion of the Manhattan-born, Massachusetts-raised and Brooklyn-claiming mayor. He is, at turns, a progressive or an unethical buffoon, too anti-cop, a micromanager and just plain lazy.
Still not entirely clear is how history will judge the man. Clarity on that may take several years or even decades to come by and even then, historians and political scientists will still debate the finer points.
However, the city is deteriorating. More towers are being built in favor of the builders who donate much to the politicians, streets are dug, sewar are old, water pipes and the belly of the beast deteriorates. Six inches of snow or rain will call for an emergency State of the city. Go figure. Not to mention the crowds, and Covid and the massive death. Just a thought.
