Eric Adams: “Broadway had the best 12 years in history.”

“What I'm going to ask them to do is look at their lives. Are your community safest? The lowest number of shootings and homicide in the recorded history of the city? Look at your economy. Broadway had the best 12 years in history. Dropped unemployment citywide 30% in the black and brown community. Is your childcare cheaper? Yes, it is. Because it's no longer $220 a week. It's less than $20 a week.” (06:30–06:34)
