Would never live there - fun to visit a long time ago but no place to live. The city has not improved. From Breitbart:
Manhattan Derailed: Neglected Subways Cause Problems for New York amid Pandemic
The filthy, homeless-ridden New York City subway system is stumbling into the spotlight as the Chinese coronavirus crisis keeps New Yorkers mostly inside their homes and businesses closed.
On Thursday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced that the city’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) would get a deep cleaning every night about two months after the first case of coronavirus was confirmed in the state.
Cuomo provided no specific explanation as to why the action was taken so late into the city’s battle with the coronavirus.
Riders have foisted unprecedented changes onto the MTA in the last two months — including drastic declines in ridership as New Yorkers have been ordered to stay home since March 6 by Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and increasing use of the subway among the city’s roughly 70,000 homeless residents.
Weeks ago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) economist Jeffrey Harris, who is also a physician, released a study detailing how the MTA helped vastly spread the coronavirus in the early weeks of March.
And of course:
A month later, about midway through April, New York City has become the epicenter of the coronavirus in the United States.
Close to 80 MTA workers have died of the coronavirus as of April 20, and a conservative Democrat on the New York City Council, Councilman Robert Holden, has asked that MTA services be halted. Three other councilmembers signed on to the letter.
Much more at the site. Piss poor management. No other explanation.
