True, but people also forget that new infrastructure, when well timed, can accelerate growth and expand the base. New York should know that more than any place.

True, but people also forget that new infrastructure, when well timed, can accelerate growth and expand the base. New York should know that more than any place. How do we know when to invest in infrastructure? I'd say that the affordable housing and transportation crises we're facing in US cities is the economy screaming at us to build.
- raiflip 8y agoAbsolutely, agree 100%. A major problem is that economic growth has been spent on, say, propping up ski resorts in upstate new york, instead of reinvested in the subway. It's really an absolute travesty the way the system has been managed.
