To Save New York City, It’s Time To Boot de Blasio
I agree with Michael Goodwin that it’s time for a change from de Blasio, which is why I won’t be among those who merely throw their hands up in hapless despair (“Give de Blas de Boot!” July 26).
A card-carrying Democrat since I first registered to vote in 1984, I’ll be changing my party affiliation so I can do my part in booting de Blasio from City Hall. Goodwin is right: Four more years is four too many. Jon Sigall Forest Hills

I’ll no longer venture into the city for enjoyment until there is a mayor who cares about the city’s quality of life.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani cleaned up the city and got it back on its feet. Let’s hope the next mayor can do the same.

Goodwin paints a dire but accurate picture of the city under the cataclysmic Mayor de Blasio.
While most of us grew up learning the three Rs, de Blasio learned the three Ys of liberalism: pomposity, sanctimony and, of course, hypocrisy.
Oblivious to the irony, he wallows in his kleptocratic bubble and rants against the evil one-percenters while the city crumbles and stumbles into chaos.
