The Adams Anomaly

Submitted by ub on

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?

In his first year in office, Bill de Blasio created a universal prekindergarten program, curtailed stop-and-frisk policing, pushed the Rent Guidelines Board to approve its lowest-ever hikes, began a $41 billion affordable-housing program, and signed an executive order raising wages for retail and fast-food workers.

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.

Waiting (and Waiting) for an Adams Doctrine

Six months into a highly energetic mayoralty, how has Eric Adams changed the city — if at all?

Eric Adams does not yet have any comparable accomplishments, nor does he appear to be on pace for one. It’s not that he’s asleep on the job. He seems to be having a good time as the swagger dapper politician. 

Is it a temporal anomaly or a time anomaly? A disruption in the spacetime continuum can be related to time travel. Temporal anomalies can take many forms and have many different effects, including temporal reversion, the creation of alternate timelines, and fracturing a vessel into different time periods.

Meanwhile, NYC homeless still awaiting access to 1,500 city-funded apartments. There are tens of thousands of people in shelters on the streets every night. What’s the holdup?  https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government…
