NYC is a very rich city. NYC can definitely afford a better subway.
People come to the voting stations and pick the candidate with the most important agenda for them. Obviously, the NYC subway does not seem to be the largest issue.
If you want to blame rich people for that, well, welcome to the USSR.
- Ericson2314 6y agoThe subway that benefits the city is controlled by the state of New York. The state of New York that would like to spend counter-cyclically is constrained by laws and the inability to issue currency, and thus has a budget that is controlled by the feds. At every level, the political power is structured poorly to make the subway (and regional infra in general) a low priority.
