That documentary took place in the future, that's current New York there, the main part of the documentary takes place in New New York which was built on top of Old New York

Have you actually seen the tree, though? When was the last time you set foot in any public school in NYC, let alone more than a single one?

Again, the Stockholm syndrome New Yorkers have that think murders and robberies in the subway is “utopia”.
Let me tell you, a single murder or robbery happening in SG, SK, JP, TW, HK, subway would be an avenger level event where the news will cover it nonstop and politicians will be forced to apologize. In NY, it’s Tuesday.

My heart isn’t bleeding for anybody. That’s me I’m talking about. Stating there are exceptions. But there are always people who take a sentence and run away a with it. Since I removed my post, this really isn’t even worth the time I’m am giving it. Have a really nice day

It's not what I think, it's real life whether anyone likes it or not. You can be an idealist all you want but we don't live in a utopia and no major city is free of violent crime, certainly not this one.

Transit is an order of magnitude safer than driving. That's just a fact. And really, what would you know? You haven't ridden the train in 15 years.

What a nice location for a zombie apocalypse or Eric Adams 2nd term election bid.

It’s crazy to think that Castle Clinton used to be offshore when it was originally built and required a causeway to access it on foot from Manhattan.

I mean, yes. Facebook was a "socialistic" enterprise until the IPO. That's not inconsistent with any definitions. Afterwards, Zuckerberg only has around 13.4% of the economic interests, and the other employees have far, far less than that. And what do you know, Facebook's influence and nefariousness have only grown as the corporate ownership becomes less connected to the people that actually work there.

I think for one no teachers would line up to teach a room of terrible kids who might assault or otherwise shoot them as we just saw a 6 year old do.

It’s really sad that New Yorkers think that having no murders and robbery in the subway is not “real life”, whereas that’s the reality in almost all developed world. Kinda reminds me of the gun debate where Americans think it’s “impossible” to prevent.

There are even more stories than that beneath Manhattan since I accidentally forgot my copy of Stephen King's Skeleton Crew on the subway.

Nimbys won’t like it , but a lot of these lines should be extended into the western parts of Suffolk county

So...that's the excuse you're going with for Second Ave phase 2 not being built?

This would be a game changer , Manhattan and to a big extent any other part of any borough, including the north shore of Staten Island , all have great access to public transit . But once you go deeper into the other boroughs is start to get a little more difficult . Is still accessible , but it takes too long to go from south Brooklyn to Astoria , the Bronx , and many other places
