And to foo back to wats going to happen to Penn Station, gently caress him, telling people to drive in to an already over crowded as gently caress city.

Also it's been 4 to 5 years since Sandy already how are the escalators that go down into the Whitehall station still under repair?

And aren't they finally shutting down the L this summer to do repairs allegedly?

I would like to know just that. Like I can get things take a long time but this is ridiculous. I remember 8 years ago when thru finally fixed up the WTC stop on the 1 and than within 2 years it was back to being a construction zone. Someone with independent authority needs to audit their books because I'm convinced the fuckers are still keeping two sets of them

not surprising tbh. i don't know what i hate about cuomo more: his ego or his thin skin

i'm confused as to why his approval ratings are in the 50s. in new jersey, christie's approval soured when it was obvious he stopped caring about the day-to-day affairs of his state. cuomo hasn't been seen much in albany since the budget deal for the same reason christie stopped caring. NJ's call is starting to sound pretty appealing, even their wall street crony democratic nominee has a pretty good idea for a state bank to fund infrastructure

I wonder how much of Cuomo's popularity is due to his hating DeBlasio which some people habe a pathological hate for. I injure a guy who moved to Japan as he's still hoping DeBlasio gets voted out of office

i can't imagine people outside of westchester and long island really feel one way or another about de blasio. i don't much care for him myself because he's a doofus and has completely abandoned his progressive economic vision for a couple of years now, but for some reason cuomo is obsessed with making sure he gets nothing and likes it

I know people thary moved to Jersey years ago and they still hate DeBlasio for being a "progressive Democrat." Sadly how that seems to work someone with a progressive vision gets elected and drops it instantly. I wonder how much of that turn of events with DeBlasio was caused by the NYPD practically threatening to coup him out of office for date suggesting thary maybe the cops could be less racist.

As for Cuomo, I think him having the thinnest skin and a touch of that Clintonite vindictiveness means that he'll never do anything to not oppose DeBlasio just out of pure spite

I'm not sure if DeBlasio won that round against the cops. But than again I'm stuck here on Staten Island practically surrounded on all sides by people who hate DeBlasio and love cops so it could be a skewed view. This place is terrible

i've read speculation about how her mayoral campaign is just a test run for her ultimate goal of staten island borough president. wouldn't surprise me tbh, she has absolutely nothing to lose

If she's a Republican she'll win it. Staten Island politics is beyond deplorable. I remember in November when voting in local things the democratic and Republican candidates were the same person.

I'll have to do that, though I don't have much hope for him actually winning

Ran into a group of people defending Cuomo over the MTA State of Emergency. Bonus points for the one guy who said DeBlasio should be here dealing with it instead of in Germany. God New York liberals are the loving worst

I think the best part was saying this isn't all Cuomo's fault. Which could be true, but ignores ffat he's been governor for 6 years already and it's not like these issues just suddenly arrived, he's been governor long enough that him and the MTA should have cone up with a better long term plan, especially since Sandy, was what 4-5 years ago already?

So in yet another instance of the NYPD are the biggest man children in the world, a bunch of them turned their backs on DeBlasio again at the funeral for that cop that got shot, claiming he wasn't supporting them enough.

the MTA has been a slush fund for governors over the decades, cuomo is no different except now we're seeing the consequences of that policy hitting us like a ton of bricks. luckily, as i just posted, that's one of the reasons why his approval numbers are taking a downward trend

Thankfully, I don't get how anyone could actually like the bastard when it comes down too it
