LOL the anecdote in the beginning of the article is about how this city is either too stupid or too lazy (or both) to change a light bulb in a public space.

I am glad that Adams has promoted one of his City Hall subordinates to "czar" status to tackle pressing city issues such as this.

Literally everything about this new role that is outlined in the Times article is stuff that is already under the purview of existing NYC departments.

Because nothing results in positive outcomes and good use of tax dollars like more bureaucracy to fix inefficiency of existing government.
