There are so many transit improvements that should and could happen in the NYC metro area that never will... Simply because NY and NJ are two separate states that can't agree on what should be done and who should pay for it.
- mertd 4y agoNow imagine each of the five boroughs having their own transit authority with rampant nimbyism trying to kneecap them and you get the Bay Area.
- acchow 4y agoEven unifying the SF metro into one city won’t stop the nimbyism. Look at the state of public transit within SF itself
- flatiron 4y agoLook at the TZ bridge as an example. Closest you can get to NYC to build a bridge without dealing with the port authority.
