On Wednesday, with his time in City Hall approaching its end, de Blasio sounded far less idealistic and admitted that his lofty promise to fix New York’s economic disparities remains unfulfilled. “Our job was to fundamentally attack them and make a difference ... That’s how you fight inequality, but does that end inequality? “I hear it very much as similar to what I said in 2013 about ‘the tale of two cities,’” he said.

In contrast to his “tale of two cities” soft-pedaling Wednesday, de Blasio was more hard-hitting on the premise eight years ago.
