There is a million and a half reasons why this is. Edit: Since the comment was deleted - there are a million and half reasons why the US and other western countries have different circumstances

>It's almost as if it's not working at all.

The (until recently) record low homicide rate begs to differ.

Ba CB k in the 870s/80s building were taken over by the government they couldn’t handle the tenants so ended up selling it of. Sometimes tenants are purposefully destroying apartments to try to get nicer apartments or to not pay rent. When rents are low there’s limited funds to make such repairs often there are no funds for repairs so the building just gets left to fall into shambles

There is one on the lower east side that is open to see. Used to do special halloween tour with colonial "ghosts." I also think the Seaport in nyc has historic buildings. You might check their site and ask.

We literally blow hundreds of millions on nothing.

The budget grows and grows and for what? No extra service? No new lines? Oh wow! They’re deep cleaning 20 stations of the 472 in NYC! The first time in like 20 years or some shit?

“Guard rails to the tracks will cost seven hundred billion million quadrillion heptillion dollars because blahblahblah greased wheels and deals and “making things happen”

Sorry how much did the MTA charge in overtime hours?

How about that one official who billed for more OT hours than THERE ARE IN A FUCKING YEAR???

The leadership that siphons money from the people of NYC should be dragged through the streets.
