I think the Koch dynasty corruption plus the Dinkins ineptitude and a tough on mob crime (which the city was tired of) helped Giuliani win the mayorship. NYC isn’t republican by nature, but the hands of the constituency were tied.
Bloomberg was in the middle and now Deblasio/Wilhelm’s tenure will likely propel a moderate Democrat into office who promises to bring order back to the city.
SF could learn from that but it doesn’t happen. SF is very ideological do instead of admitting mistakes progressives keep doubling down. At some point the constituency will say enough! But SF keeps surprising me.
Brown was corrupt but at least crime was dealt with. Everyone since Brown has been on the ideological bandwagon and won’t admit to mistakes and keep on doubling down on ineffective and detrimental policies.
At this point I say bring someone like Willie back.
