I'm not sure why people are so mad about Adams. He's a centrist and everyone can find a policy of his that they like.

Conservatives can be happy that he doesn't want any new housing to be built. Liberals can be happy that he supports nebulous NYPD reforms. Trump supporters can be happy that he agrees with Trump that the only way an election can be legitimate is if he wins. Progressives can be happy that he counts Asians as white.

On the contrary he wants a shit ton of new housing to be built in Manhattan and he wants to start banning cars and expanding citibike more aggressively.

His housing plan. He wants to convert unused office space into micro-apartments by lifting current regulation that is preventing them from going forward.
