We are living in fear. Its constant. If we don’t get a Mayor for safer streets we are done. So terrible what a safe downtown we had. Nothing and no time is safe anymore in the city!!
Eric Adams was endorsed by The Post.
I think he is the only one that don’t want to defund. He has my vote. Praying he wins. Can’t live in a deteriorating city next couple of years. The other candidates don’t care about crime.
Yang also claims to be against defunding. See his quote from the debate here:
“During the debate, Andrew Yang, who has at times portrayed himself as a progressive, made his stance clear on public safety clear from the start.”
“Defund the police is the wrong approach,” he said. He later added: “There is no recovery without public safety.””

Eric Adams has my vote too.
adams on yang’s remarks after the times square shooting, “For Andrew Yang to stand here and all of a sudden realize this threat in our city. And why? Because of what he stated, ‘this happened a block from my house.’ Well you know what, Andrew? These shootings have been happening blocks from my house for years and blocks from poorer New Yorkers for years.”
We left the Verdesian a year ago for Naples, Florida. I have teenage kids whom I NEVER worried about when they were out and about. This used to be the safest part of the City.
Yang is so wet behind the ears. I don’t get why so many are dazzled by him. A likable enough fellow but no way does he have the savy and experience to be the mayor. Scott and Kathryn will be able to know how to work with the NYPD to restructure the funding to include mental health and local teams to work along side the police.
Eric Adams is very disliked by the NYPD and for me, the Farrakan connection is unacceptable.
Yang’s big idea is to bring gambling to Governor’s Island – what a horrible idea!!!
All in all a packed race with lots to think about.
I wish Ray Kelly would run
We need law and order
Remember days we could walk on esplanade at 11pm and be safe
Those days are gone
