New Yorkers (and others) What do you think of Mayor EricAdams?

I've never before been ambivalent about NYC mayors. I've liked them and disliked them. For me, Adams is hard to peg. I have mostly leaned toward dislike, but can't say why.

He's a former cop who as Brooklyn police commissioner tried to cover up dirty cops. He's a former Republican. He removed the one good thing the last mayor did and brought back the twice a week street sweeping thing to write more tickets. He snuck in with our ranked choice instant runoff.
