> I'm saying that building an effective transit system obviously isn't the purpose of the systems that control New York's transit. You were not saying that. You said "The problem is things that are politically desirable are incompatible with a cheap & high quality product." That is an absolute statement. These two things are incompatible. It is not possible to have both. To which tomgp responded with an example where seemingly they have both. The things which you said are incompatible with each other. And then just after that you say that the "systems that control New York's transit" is basically corrupt. So which one is it? Because these two are two very different situations and switching from one to the other feels quite dishonest to be honest with you.
