When you have entities like MTA then the worst car centric city is better

Leftists in Reddit told me we just need to tax the shit out of everyone and blindly throw money at every problem and everything is going to be fine.

The building was built by a private citizen, owned by private citizens and auctioned off to another private citizen. The government never built or owned this place, don’t know what you’re complaining about it

Let me get this straight: NYS spends $200 Billion a year and NYC spends $100 billion a year and they can’t fix anything in the city? No hope for this place.

Public unions are a threat to the public it seems then. Also I want to add that voter turnout is depressingly low in local mayoral elections, I believe if more people vote in the election and for the right person then we can solve our problems.

Again the number of special interest voter are vastly outnumbered by the total number of voters. As Carlin said “selfish ignorant people, selfish ignorant leaders”

Millions on people voted and you believe special interest is to be blame? They’re a problem but the voters are just too stupid

New Yorkers pay the highest tax in the country for mediocre service and the people who just came here gets 5 star hotel in Manhattan, we voted for it and we deserve it. Our infrastructures are broken, Medicaid isn’t good, education is hot garbage and nothing ever gets fixed because voters are stupid enough to vote for these corrupt, incompetent and self serving politicians.

We lived on $35,000 as a family of 4 for couple years, tough but doable. It’s annoying to hear people making 6 figures complaining how they’re living paycheck to paycheck, as if it isn’t something totally subjective.

$4,000 median rent in Manhattan not the entire NYC. Manhattan is expensive because of high demand. Clickbait title, outrage just sells.

You can’t reason with these people. They will call anyone and everyone racist for anything and everything you talk about.

NYPD, DOE and others all had their budget cut and we are paying $55,000 a year to house people who never paid a fucking dime in taxes. We have poor infrastructure, corrupt and inefficient school system and ever rising cost of living. Who is this city for? Why don’t more people vote? Why do we only have 20% voter turnout?

Excuse my comment. The article says to power the bus, though the article itself is very vague on where exactly it costs more, but it sounds like it costs 3 times more to charge the vehicle than to fill it up with diesel. Don’t think it will make much of a difference in operating cost

Doesn’t excuse the fact that electric bus costs 3times that of diesel. Edit: it costs 3 times to power the bus.

The fed isn’t giving NY funds to help the migrants and the City can’t just print money.
