Mayor Bill de Blasio’s longtime Brooklyn neighbors applauded his decision to drop out of the 2020 presidential race Friday — adding that the botched national campaign dimmed their opinions of the local pol.

“About time!” cheered lifelong Brooklyn resident Jerica Wind, 69, outside the Park Slope YMCA.

De Blasio has his NYPD security detail drive him to the Brooklyn gym from his official Gracie Mansion residence in Manhattan most mornings, but Friday he skipped the routine to announce the end of his quixotic campaign.

“I thought it was ridiculous,” Wind said of the long-shot bid, noting that she used to see the mayor while waiting for her exercise classes, but he refused to talk to fellow fitness buffs once he launched his campaign.

“I felt hurt,” she said, noting that she watched de Blasio on television chatting amiably with Iowa residents while on the campaign trail.

Peter Velazquez, 47, agreed that it was time for de Blasio to refocus on his day job.

“I think we could use more of his presence in New York City,” Velazquez said.

“I think he had a few good points in the debate actually, but he probably overstayed his welcome, got a little obnoxious, and it’s time to come home,” said Velazquez, another Park Slope Y member.

Other gym members shouted their opinion of de Blasio’s decision as they left the YMCA Friday morning.

“Thank God!” said one woman.

“Waste of money,” added another gym member, a man.

“He did the right thing [by dropping out],” concluded another.
