New Yorker walks in WAIST DEEP water to catch a train

[m0rninggl0ry]

This is because NYC doesn’t take the time and money to clean its gutters and storm drains!! The shyts are filled with garbage and dirt besides the sewer system being old as shyt and they haven’t installed any new pumps from what I’ve heard. All they did was shore up the substations from flood so the power stays on.

Exactly!

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

would probably rather kill myself than live in that shythole city

But Spiderman. The City. The energy

 

[Mowgli]

Trash!

 

[KingDanz]

do you know how dirty that water is

 

[BK The Great]

The MTA needs to explain what they are doing with the money especially raising fares every single damn time, trains are slow as fukk and always have signal problems. They are in for a real rude awakening. And for the people who don't think nothing will happen in their states the entire country is gonna feel the effects of climate change. Look at the winters they experienced, and look at the tornadoes and hurricanes that are now happening. No one is safe.

 

[Diunx]

Wait the trains were actually running? woudn't they flood as soon as the gates oppened?

I love going to NYC but would fukking hate to live there.

I never been to the east coast

1st world city right

This is why while on the train ride home, I always heard the Europeans going to EWR saying NYC public transportation is a joke, with some choice words for NJTransit as well, and wasn't coming back anytime soon.

 

[Bboystyle]

They about to start a new pandemic walking through that nasty ass water

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

bu bu bu it's the shytiest city in the world

 

[EndDomination]

i was speaking from an ideal point of view.
point taken.

Oh yeah, I wasn't taking a swipe at you. You're right, that's how it is perceived - but here in the US "public goods" are constantly raided and underinvested - even if every single thing about infrastructure investment - from the jobs created to the better health outcomes to the increase in wealth - is a net positive.

It truly doesn't make sense to me.

Left NYC june 29 and never stepping foot there again

 

[NZA]

arent there people living under the tracks?

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

Was in NYC for the July 4th weekend, can't fathom how people live there. Dirty as hell. Brooklyn is a dump. So many lifeless looking people on the trains. People sleeping in tiny ass apartment rooms spending a mortgage. It's a city living off the glory days of the past.

People need to understand the importance of infrastructure investments. It sucks because you don’t see the need until it’s too late.

I swear I hate living in this country sometimes. It’s like being in a group project with a bunch of folks who don’t realize the project is due tomorrow and haven’t started any work.

my former physics teach in HS worked as an engineer in the field and he said this country is LONG overdue for some infrastructural development some places haven't been touched since the 30s, gonna be a big day reckoning soon
