De Blasio suggests ‘politics’ motivating Times Square business leaders concerned about gun violence

“We have been constantly engaging business improvement districts, Times Square and many others, making adjustments where people raise concerns. We take them really seriously. That’s why we’d like to see a little consistency if we’re working with people constantly trying to address issues together, and it’s good for everyone to recognize that,” he said. “Times Square, we put a huge number of officers there, everyone sees it, and we’ll keep them there as long as we need, and we will address the issues.”
