Mayor Eric Adams has bowed out of his reelection campaign, becoming the first mayor since David Dinkins to serve only one term. To remove the severely mentally ill from streets and subways, Adams repeatedly called on the legislature to expand involuntary commitment. Unlike socialist proposals to build more public housing, the mayor’s plan unlocks the private sector to build an estimated 82,000 new units over 15 years. Between the spring of 2022 and this July, some 240,000 migrants made their way to New York City, requesting city services that the federal government refused to reimburse. At its peak, nearly 70,000 migrants were in city shelters, ultimately costing the city well over $7 billion in total.
