And crime continues to climb.<\/p>\n<p>On COVID, our mayor loves to remind us \u2014 correctly \u2014 that for kids in the pandemic \u201cthe safest place to be is in school.\u201d He rightly refused to cave to teachers unions on Omicron closures and most mask-mandate clawbacks. But he still, insanely, has refused to unmask the youngest kids in the public schools, though their COVID risk is effectively zero.<\/p>\n<p>And while he\u2019s said of our hollowed-out business districts, \u201cI have to get people back in their offices,\u201d<strong> <\/strong>he still hasn\u2019t lifted the city\u2019s absurd private-sector vaccine mandate \u2014 <em>except <\/em>for athletes and entertainers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Maskprotest.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Women protest Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 vaccine policies in Times Square on April 8, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-21835042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Maskprotest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Maskprotest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Maskprotest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Women protest Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 vaccine policies in Times Square on April 8, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Miller<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can\u2019t build an economic comeback around Kyrie Irving, Mr. Mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, Adams came into office facing some major headwinds. COVID, and the lingering malaise from New York\u2019s overreaction to it. Not to mention the overall dysfunction left behind by his utterly unlamented predecessor, Bill de Blasio.<\/p>\n<p>But mayors are judged on results, and Adams has yet to make the kind of progress New York needs. Being better than de Blasio \u2014 as he unquestionably is \u2014 isn\u2019t remotely enough.<\/p>\n<p>His words around crime policy could be a motto for his administration: \u201cYou\u2019re going to hate me now, but you\u2019re going to love me later.\u201d<strong> <\/strong>It\u2019s a claim that he\u2019s no run-of-the-mill political panderer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Shooting.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Police are seen at the scene of a shooting at Troy Ave. and St. John\u2019s Pl. in Brooklyn, Friday, March 11, 2022. \" class=\"wp-image-21835152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Shooting.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Shooting.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Shooting.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Shootings continue to surge in the Big <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le while Mayor Eric Adams demands Albany\u2019s lawmakers to reverse bail reform.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Mecea<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And, yes, beneficial policies can be unpopular. But his core policies \u2014 getting serious on crime, demanding excellence in education, etc. \u2014 <em>are <\/em>popular except with the far left and the special interests.
