Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

C'mon, Crapper..."Get real, just take your SUV to a station that's not flooded."
George...My SUV is out of commission!
What a nice sign on the subway station.
The gift wrapping ribbon is nice too.
left for work at 8:50am
headed to the #7
was told there was a 45 minute to 1 hour wait at my station
go across the street, take the 7 to Q Plaza then take the N to city
did that, station wall to wall people
was told the N and W were not working
then an N train pulls up
My point? More of an observation really:
Rain shuts down public transportation for an entire city, many neighborhoods without power.
So instead of working on the transit system, fixing the electrical grids, let's keeping putting up more builidngs and cramming people in like rats.
Gotta love this city.
This city is in such a mode of overbuilding gridlock
that all it takes is a heavy rainfall to cripple it.
If we had attended to our outdated transportation infrastructure, like we were supposed to,
this wouldn't have happened.
There's a cartoon running in this week's "Newsweek".
It pictures Bin Laden talking with some other terrorists .
He says, "We'd better hit the infrastructure soon before it crumbles"!
Sick, but true........
haven't we, in fact, become our own terrorists?
Just how many people can you cram into Queens? Developers keep building and the infrastructure can't handle it. Good thing we don't have congestion pricing. The subways and buses are crowded on a normal day.
7:50am I was at the #7 train station. waited...waited...waited....
8:45am i decided to leave the platform go have breakfast. 9:05am seeing how the train was still pulling in the station packed, i tried my luck with the bus.
waited...waited...waited....
9:45am i went back to get my car. i did get to work around 10:45am.
i love new york!
6:35 - catch LIRR at Bayside - JUST as water starts to cover the railhead - for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, the 6:35 was the last train to the city
Get to Penn station, walk to the 1,2,3, get told "no service, try the A,C,E" - walk to 8th ave, get told "No service, try the 1,2,3" (Left hand, meet right) - go out the Amtrak exit, and get in the Taxi queue, wait 25 minutes for a $12 cab ride to work.
(if the LIRR Pt Wash branch had been running, I would have gone home)
Did anyone see any politician comment on this?
Well John Lui was mumbleing something about it being 'unacceptable' for a few seconds on TV. Ok, now what next you jerk? Anything useful beyond yet another tiresome photo op and sound bite?
