Both mayors may end up paying a price for telling voters that crime was worse in their cities than it actually was.
in public, declaring in 2022, “I am not necessarily on the same page with a number of things that he’s doing.” She believed Boudin was too soft on criminals and that his reform efforts were fueling the city’s crime spike. One of her close allies, a former prosecutor in Boudin’s office, helped lead the recall campaign. Once he was defeated, Breedas the new district attorney.
San Francisco’s first Black female mayor was once a rising political star in a city that quite literally manufactures them: Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and Gavin Newsom all launched their careers there. Today, Breed is badly damaged, carryingthat could imperil her reelection chances next year. There’s a rather simple political lesson here — you reap what you sow. Breed never forcefully counteracted any of the hyperbolic narratives around life in San Francisco.
In New York, Adams is grappling with a similar dynamic. Crime is elevated from 2019 levels but is historically not very high. Shootings and murdersfrom last year. Homelessness, along with the ongoing migrant influx, is still a challenge, and there are too many unhoused and mentally ill people forced to walk the streets. There’s a disturbing randomness to today’s crime picture. Some New Yorkers fear getting shoved onto a subway track in midtown or stabbed on a busy sidewalk.
But all of this, in some sense, is manageable. New York is a much safer city than it was in the 1990s and even the 2000s. Both New York and San Francisco have struggled with the rise of remote work and the emptying out of once thriving downtowns. No single mayor can reverse these trends, and both Breed and Adams will have to get creative about repurposing vacant storefronts and office spaces while somehow replacing the lost commuter foot traffic.
