Yang comes off as a bumbling outsider, and after 8 years of DeBlasio bumbling, I’d prefer a mayor who knows where the levers of power are located and how to use them. Adams’ personal history also gives him the cover to be tough on crime, which hits poor neighborhoods hardest. I’m tired of the activist class and their endless war of words. Let’s get someone in Gracie Mansion who can get stuff done.

Depends on what crime you wanna highlight. The denizens of, say, Wall Street are infested with criminals whose crimes hit each and every one of us, irrespective of our neighborhood affiliation. Damn right I want 'tough on crime' – corporate crime.
I know this is a trendy opinion on the left, but keep in mind that Wall Street finances most of New York City's social programs, and COVID has taught them that they really don't need to be in New York City at all. Very easy for them to take their jobs and tax payments elsewhere if they feel hassled. You'd have a moral victory but not much else.
