Driven by the socialists. We now have the lowest number of police officers in New York City in modern political history. You have to increase the police department. I want to add 5,000 cops, 1,500 in the subways. Affordability. The only way to bring rents down is to increase supply. You have a 1% vacancy rate in housing. Forget the gimmicks. Build more affordable housing. Get it done. (05:52–05:56)
