HATERS GONNA HATE

It didn’t take more than a minute for the critics to start piling the hate on Mayor de Blasio immediately after he (finally) wrapped his over-thetop State of the City speech.

And the haters are right. I personally hate him for settling over 150 outstanding municipal labor contracts which had been ignored by Mayor Bloombucks.

I hate Mayor de B for adding 1,300 cops and reducing crime to the lowest levels in New York City’s history, even as other cities hit historic highs. I hate that this happened even though he eliminated stop-and-frisk, which was supposed to spike horrible crime waves.

I hate de Blasio for adding or preserving 21,963 units of affordable housing in 2016, the most since 1989. This, even as we are still reeling from Bloomberg’s destruction of our beloved neighborhoods with ugly, expensive high rises for extremely high rollers.

I hate Big Bill for overseeing the most efficient snow removal in recent memory — especially after the biggest snowstorm in recent memory.

I also despise him for reducing pedestrian traffic deaths through Vision Zero from 138 in 2015 to 85 in 2016.

But mostly I hate the mayor for efficiently building facilities and, in three short years, enrolling 150,000 children in pre-K (half of whom live in shelters), taking an enormous burden off working parents.

No wonder New Yorkers hate him.
