Eric Adams Said He Wanted to ‘Get Stuff Done.’ Did He?
In his first year as mayor, he focused his attention on fighting crime. But critics say he is not moving quickly enough to address New York City’s other urgent challenges.
The challenges continue to mount. The city’s financial forecast is grim, as federal pandemic aid ends and tax revenue falters. An influx of nearly 32,000 migrants from the country’s southern border has overwhelmed agencies’ ability to respond. A new policy to remove mentally ill homeless people from the streets involuntarily has drawn fierce resistance. Nineteen people have died after being held in the city’s troubled jail system this year.
