unnerve workers and as a former new yorker, what happened in the subway system earlier this week is one of the big nightmares in new york s residents, relying on the subway. what do you say to new yorkers and with a new mayor, that the city is spiraling out of control. no, the city was far from that. i was in the city when it spiralled out of the control. during in the 80s and mid-90s, we were part of the comeback. that s not what we facing at this time. i can t point enough to the nypd doing their job. we took 1800 guns off the street since i have been the mayor.
