"I'm leaving this city in good shape, Adams said. More jobs than in the city's history. Our children are outpacing the state in reading and math. We've built more housing. We've zoned the city to build 426,000 units of housing. We've made the city safer both above ground and below ground. You don't see encampments along our highways and streets like you see in other cities."
"Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that he believes he's leaving this city in good shape when he wraps up his tenure at City Hall in December but he issued a four-word warning to his eventual successor: Don't f**k it up. That choice-worded phrase, the mayor claimed, was something former Mayor Mike Bloomberg told him when he took office four years ago."
Mayor Eric Adams said he believes he is leaving New York City in good shape when his tenure ends in December and issued a four-word warning to his successor: 'Don't f**k it up.' He credited his administration with record job numbers, improved reading and math among children, increased housing production and zoning for 426,000 units, and enhanced safety above and below ground. Adams contrasted city conditions with visible encampments in other cities. He expressed doubt that his likely successor, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, would maintain those gains, citing Mamdani's pledges on Rikers, the Strategic Response Group, and the NYPD gang database.
