A New York City Mayor who is different from the norm or usual, expected by his constituents, and not following his predecessors.
According to the question by New York magazine, what do new NYC mayors reportedly accomplish with their incoming political capital?

Mike Bloomberg, in his first year, placed city schools under mayoral control for the first time, banned smoking in bars and restaurants, began the rebuilding of lower Manhattan after 9/11, raised property taxes to plug an enormous budget gap, and opened a shelter for homeless families in a converted jail.
