The nanny-state soft drink thing was because he’d been in office 10 years already, and had done all the important necessary and useful things. He was floundering for something else something else what else can I do… and there was nothing meaningful to do. So he turned his attention to something trivial.

He didn’t think of universal pre-k (which DeBlasio was able to do in year one).

He didn’t think about solving the MTA issues with capital construction costs (and you’d think a business guy who values numbers would try to figure that out). He didn’t think of how to improve affordable housing. He didn’t think of ways to improve job growth or making the city more affordable overall. He didn’t think to envision a new approach to how people use streets and make them safer for pedestrians and bicyclists, or to give buses priority over cars to get more people moving faster.
