Reply to comment by TheAJx in NYC comptroller says Adams has ‘exacerbated’ widespread city worker vacancies by mowotlarx
It's not going to magically adapt, we all agree. We need a City government that is practical and responsive to change and to plan ahead. We don't have that. It'll come back to bite us in the ass.

The big issue imo is that pretty much all solutions one can work towards would not see clear results for several years making it useless in the eyes of any elected official.
Why would they do the work of enacting policy the next guy will get all the credit for?
Frankly i have no hope of any politician from any party to not solely act in their own self interest

Agreed. City staff see the vision over time between administrations and do a lot of work. Then a new administration begins and they scrap the work and restart something that gets dropped again later. Very rarely do they promote agency staff into commissioner positions. Instead the pick their friends who have little to no experience and are starting from scratch.
It's very hard to have consistency and a cohesive vision for the public when politicians only hop in to promote their own agenda.
