I'm 53 years old. I know no one with kids that young. It didn't help me, my siblings, my neighbors, my relatives, my fiends, my parents.

Perhaps that helped a small group of New Yorkers but not a cross section of economic and demographic categories.

I repeat the question:

What did he do for average New Yorkers?

I wasn't a fan and blamed Bloomberg for stop n frisk but my 85 year old mom never got hassled; my wife didn't; I didn't; my high school kids didn't'; my grade school kids didn't.

The targets were black and brown men between ages 15-45.

60% of the population are black and brown; half of them are male (30%) probably half are over 45 or under 15. (155) So he didn't something beneficial for 15% or so the population. Fine.

I said "Average New Yorkers". Perhaps I should rephrase to "a majority of New Yorkers".

While I'm not jumping up and down for Adams, can anyone cite real improvements or accomplishments by Bill deB? Painting BLM stripes outside of Trump Tower or revoking the Trump organizations' operating permit for hockey rinks was fun I suppose, but it was cheap theater.

What did DeB actually do for average New Yorkers?

*Note bike lanes don't help those of us in the outer boroughs, the elder, etc. . So...let's hear it. What got better?

In the case of Adams, Brownsville was united with both Bay Ridge and Breezy Point. Adams did well in all those areas. His appeal is to working and middle class outer borough voters. It's hard for the Brownstone crowd to digest (because Progressives look down on working people in BayRidge/SI and because they see themselves as looking out for ethnic and racial minorities).

Malliotakis (R) beat Rose for Congress; Chang (R) beat Abbate for Assembly.

Mike Tannoussis (R) Assemebly Rep. Michael Chang (R) won State Senate.

Vegan Branan (D0 won City council by less than 1%, all of them "Write ins".

The area supported Adams for Mayor. Bay Ridge and Brownsville were united to defeat Brownstone Brooklyn.

I get downvotes for saying the truth. Politically speaking, the area is different.
