NYC can forget about their tourist trade coming back. Who wants to spend money to travel here. If the guns don't get you the subway crime or bikes and scooters will. I live here and I'm looking to leave now. What a mess.
NYC always had a lot of tourism even in the bad old days. Times Square was a tourist draw even when hookers were rampant, an 42nd Street was all porn theaters.

Adams will do a lot of good.. And not for the reasons you think. Many of his backers are in the real estate and tourism business, who want crime to go down so there can be a path to normalcy.

This is what occurs when you become soft on crime, as NYC under BDB, willingly chose.
I know of a few NYC corps where they are still remote, and heated "return to hybrid" meetings have seen the drop in safety factor brought up and discussed at length. Notice I said they are STILL remote.
I think some going back, at least partially, will retreat to wfh more, as some of their employees become victims of random, senseless, violent NYC crime.
If this were the law and order RG/MB eras, NYC offices would be several times as full already.

It’s not all in his control. It’s the da’s of each borough and the judges and the no bail laws for certain crimes. Adams can’t just come in and change things like some people think/want.
2017, and again in 2018. Hopefully just a burp in the system and common sense will prevail.
