Greek-American billionaire John Catsimatidis sought the Republican nomination for mayor of New York City in 2013 and now he's thinking to go for it again!
"The biggest problem is, New York City, we're at the edge of a disaster," he said on CBS News New York's "The Point with Marcia Kramer."
"We used to walk around at night, our Gristedes stores, D'Agostino stores were open to midnight. Our restaurants were open until 11:00 at night. We used to walk around the East Side of New York, the West Side of New York, all over New York, and people felt safe," Catsimatidis said. Regarding living in New York City, John Catsimatidis said about the residents that "They don't feel safe, no matter what the statistics are. Nobody believes them."
A recent report from the mayor's office said major felony crime decreased from 2023 to 2024, but remains higher than 2020. The number of shooting incidents in 2024, so far, was below the 2020 level, the report said.
If Greek-American, self-made billionaire, John Catsimatidis runs for mayor, he said that reducing crime will be his first priority.
