Ok, I've said this in another thread and I'll say it again. Universal Pre-K, Keeping crime down (in spite of sensationalized headlines), expanding after school programs keeping kids off the streets, getting the ball rolling for Sandy victims (financed or gave construction assistance to 60% of those enrolled in the program, albeit many dropped out during the Bloomberg years due to inactivity), settled contracts with a majority of the city unions (with whom the previous admin. was playing kick the can with), businesses must provide paid sick-leave...frankly what the man is mostly at fault for other than chronic lateness and social awkwardness is terrible PR.
Who's gonna pay for all this? You can't keep taxing people in the city because the corruption eats up tax revenue. The programs like Pre-K doesn't get any funding because it's a low priority issue. DeBlasio figures the new demographics in the city make more than enough to pay for their own daycare while middle class will just flee to the suburbs where Pre-K is common.
What NYC needs is more auditing of government workers like taking out Silverman and other corrupt officials that's been installed and using taxpayer money for their own personal gains. Can't run a city with so much corruption.
You need look no further than deBlasio's vision zero agenda to see how badly out of touch and incompetent he truly is. Vision zero was touted as being designed to curb accidents, crashes and pedestrian injuries. Before vision zero the city had steadily declining pedestrian fatalities. I think prior to vision zero being implemented Pedestrian fatalities and injuries were at the historic lows. What vision zero has given us is the exact opposite. Pedestrians are being mowed down with impunity lately. I for one can't pin point a reason for it but as of now and the forseeable future vision zero has been a colossal failure for Mister deBlasio. Vision zero will go down for being remembered as what it truly was, a revenues generating scheme to help fund deBlasio's misguided failed progressive dream.

Agreed. Hell, back in 2011 there were no fatalities on Queens Blvd, but guess which street got bombed with all this Zero Vision bs. No wonder the LIE is always packed with traffic, even on Saturday mornings, and Queens Blvd is always empty.
DeBlasio is a scumbag.

I think he's just coming from a different angle. To him we all live either in luxury condos or government subsidized housing. He's probably never been anywhere in the city where subways can't go. After all he's a transplant.

Lots of red light cameras though.

Ed Koch was in the pocket of the RE lobby. He turned a blind eye and let them begin the wholesale clearing out of the UWS low rent/SRO properties by any means necessary. It took the City Council to enact some protections but by then the damage was done and continued.
Yeah, it's a shame the UWS is not the same hell-hole it was in the 1970's and 1980's. Damn that Mayor Koch for getting the ball rolling to make it a safe and attractive area that generates lots of taxes for the NYC Treasury.
Mayor deBlasio announced he will no longer speak to reporters. He claims he isn't paid to speak to them, but to the public at large that he serves and will only answer questions through his weekly radio program.
He's showing his Fidel Castro/Daniel Ortega side. They never talked to the press (because there was no press). Deep down, De Blah Blah is a Marxist. Obviously, he cannot bring Marxism to NYC and the United States. But it's part of his soul.
There is a 10 block stretch of Linden Blvd where there is some type of camera on every other block. Several run consequently.
