Part 2/11:
Mayor Adams highlights his administration's success in reducing gun violence as a pivotal achievement. He emphasizes that decreasing gun-related crimes is not only about immediate safety but also an indicator of overall city health. Adams notes that, in comparison to both Republican-led and Democratic-led states nationwide, New York remains the safest large city in America.
He explains that his approach has been holistic—addressing not only violent crime but also disorderly conduct, mental health issues, homeless encampments, and street cleanliness. These efforts, according to Adams, have led to a safer environment, although he acknowledges more work remains.
