Just to be clear here, Adams actually had a lot of black and brown working class support precisely because the NYPD has decided to no longer police those areas in response to the BLM protests over the summer. Not that Adams being mayor is going to change that, but there is support for "tough on crime" in the communities that have the most crime. And less than 10% of the city even voted in the election, which means Adams himself actually only had the "support" of like 3% of NYC residents.
And the more gentrification drives out working class folks, the more they'll do shit like electing cops for mayor.
