‘It’s bad’: Eric Adams admits being ‘shocked’ by the sorry state of NYC

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.

“Let me tell you something: When I started looking into this, I was shocked at how bad this place is,” he said of the city.

Adams — who campaigned on a promise to restore order to an increasingly lawless Gotham — said the scales fell from his eyes when he began reviewing internal city operations following his swearing in moments after midnight on New Year’s Day.

“It was probably, the third — third or fourth week in January. I spent a lot of time in the office,” he said.

What did he expect from Democrat rule?

What did he expect from Democrat rule?

He's a Democrat so nothing will change.

Doesn't he live there? I can't imagine how he missed noticing what a hellhole the city has become.

I thought his campaign was based on exactly that. Typical democrat, looks at what democrat policies created and pulls an Urkel

What did he expect from Democrat rule?

He probably thinks it's all Giuliani's fault.

  Mayor Adams, shut your cheesecake hole, stop your hand-wringing, and freaking do something to reduce the number of thugs and thuglings on NYC streets!

Same advice to SF Mayor Breed" Shut your It's It hole ...

[Fishrrman]

Once again, have to say it:
Adams is "David Dinkins II".

But this time there ain't gonna be no Rudy Giuliani to step in and rebuild the place once Adams is gone...

I haven't ventured outside of FL in quite awhile (at least since the pandemic), but  I would lay odds that most liberal states are in a sorry condition.
