There's a city council and various state/city laws to get through on everything. Do you think maybe there's a reason why Johnson started backtracking on 95% of the stuff he "promised." Candidates run on empty promises because they take advantage of peoples' lack of understanding of how government actually works in the US. We don't elect someone who just calls the shots unchecked.
I hope he can unite people more but I'm really not very certain that it's as doom and gloom as various people think. The only way he gets what he wants is if a majority of progressives get elected in City Council, which I'm pretty sure is still not the case even after tonight.
