Hours after cruising to re-election, Mayor de Blasio descended on Brooklyn’s Borough Hall for a meet-and-greet with supporters.

Hizzoner won a second term Tuesday night, beating out his Republican Nicole Malliotakis, 66 to 28 percent.
He became the first Democratic mayor to be re-elected since Ed Koch in 1985.
Alex Rodriguez, 22, a student at the New York City College of Technology was among those who chatted with de Blasio.
“I asked him about gentrification around low income areas. I told him that I live in the South Bronx and me and my mother pay a lot of rent in the building we live and there’s always problems in it,” Rodriguez said.
“He said he has a plan to help balance things out and make new housing. He said he’s making a balancing plan for rent.”
