What leadership crisis is New York City facing according to Jumaane Williams?

According to NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, New York City is facing a serious leadership crisis as Mayor Eric Adams is failing to effectively serve the city's 8.3 million residents. Williams points to the resignation of key deputy mayors and questions the mayor's decision-making abilities, stating that New Yorkers 'realize they do not have a mayor' but rather 'a deputy to the White House.' Williams criticizes the mayor for having a long pattern of making bad decisions while attempting to deflect blame for the city's problems. He emphasizes the need for honest leadership that isn't compromised and can look citizens in the eye, suggesting the city requires a mayor who will be transparent about the true state of affairs rather than one who alternates between claiming only they can fix everything or boasting about accomplishments.
