“#We need someone to run for mayor who will save New York<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n There\u2019s no denying it: The city\u2019s in trouble. Big trouble. Mayor de Blasio is now a lame-duck figurehead, with less than 1\u00b9\/\u2082 years left in office. And the crop of candidates looking to replace him is anything but promising.<\/p>\n

New York needs fresh blood. So today we\u2019re asking \u2014 pleading, actually: Won\u2019t anyone step up and save New York?<\/p>\n

COVID, the anti-police rioting and the crime wave have delivered powerful blows to the city. They created terror on the streets, socked businesses, wrecked city finances, crippled schooling \u2014 and sent people scurrying for the exits.<\/p>\n

Even before the virus hit, pols like de Blasio (with help from Albany) had left Gotham on shaky ground, with \u201creforms\u201d that ensured more crime, vagrants swamping the streets and a budget that failed to prepare for even a modest downturn, let alone one shut by the bug.<\/p>\n

Alas, at the moment, there\u2019s no one on the horizon looking to replace him who\u2019ll offer anything but more of the same. Or worse.<\/p>\n

After the city\u2019s brush with near-bankruptcy in the \u201970s, Mayor Ed Koch guided the city back to a more solid fiscal footing. In the \u201990s, Mayor Rudy Giuliani proved the city was governable after all, and restored it to its former glory. He and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton cracked down on low-level offenses and rolled back two decades of rising crime.<\/p>\n

By the beginning of the de Blasio era, the murder rate had fallen by nearly 90 percent.<\/p>\n

Today, Gotham is plummeting at warp speed \u2014 yet it\u2019s eminently saveable. These ideas from city experts point the way.<\/p>\n

Start with public safety, which, as Bratton notes, is \u201cthe first obligation of government.\u201d The next leader needs a plan to restore the low levels of crime of just a few years ago and ensure people feel safe.<\/p>\n

How? By cracking down on guns, backing cops and giving them the resources they need to rein in the madness.<\/p>\n

Nicole Gelinas urges attention to the \u201clittle things,\u201d the quality-of-life issues that matter so much. Policing minor offenses, the \u201cbroken windows,\u201d shows that a city cares.<\/p>\n

As for finances, fiscal guru E.J. McMahon has sensible suggestions to make ends meet amid catastrophic drops in revenue. Mitchell Moss calls for a new marketing campaign for the city. Ian Rowe urges an expansion of school choice.<\/p>\n

By contrast, not one of the people thought likely to run for mayor at this point seems ready to embrace such vital solutions.<\/p>\n

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson was MIA as looters and anarchists hijacked peaceful protests and derelicts stoned cops and turned City Hall Park into homeless encampment. Instead, he insisted on cutting funds for cops.<\/p>\n

At the council, he whisked through one anti-cop \u201creform\u201d after another. He smiled while de Blasio bloated city spending nearly 30 percent over the years.<\/p>\n

City Comptroller Scott Stringer is another sure mayoral wannabe. Yet how can someone whose job it is to oversee the budget run the whole city after allowing its finances to become so vulnerable?<\/p>\n

He, too, has been mum on the surge in violence. And he backed radical Tiffany Caban in last year\u2019s Queens DA race, which tells you all you need to know.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams hasn\u2019t offered any major policy solutions either, focusing instead on soft issues like biking and dieting. Maya Wiley, 57, a #Defund advocate, served as de Blasio\u2019s lawyer, so don\u2019t expect major improvements from her.<\/p>\n

Who, then, will save New York? Surely, there\u2019s someone out there \u2014 in a city of 8.5 million, brimming with talent.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019ll be someone who\u2019s proven himself in one key area \u2014 say, Ray Kelly, who, as police boss, drove down crime for 12 years and protected the city from terror after 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Or maybe someone like Queens\u2019 Robert Holden, one of the city\u2019s rare sensible councilmen. Or a moderate-minded ex-lawmaker, like Peter Vallone.<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019ll be a figure from outside the political world entirely, like Wall Street whiz Ray Maguire, the black Citigroup honcho who\u2019s already shown interest in running. Or maybe someone no one would ever guess.<\/p>\n

Chances are, whoever steps up will be far and away better for the city than any of the current has-been wannabes.<\/p>\n

Whoever it is, though, it\u2019s not too soon to step up. Indeed, if ever there were a time Gotham needed a hero, this is it.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
