In NYC it all comes down to management (or mismanagement). The city raises an insane amount of tax revenue yet the public school system is poor overall, most major roads and highways need extensive repairs, the subway system is a century old and getting shittier each year despite billions in subsidies that are ultimately funded by taxpayers, homelessness is rampant, drug related deaths and violence are increasing... So what's the solution? There are tax increases, new taxes, toll hikes, subway fare hikes, etc. almost annually. Yet these don't lead to improvements. The reason being that we have a wasteful mayor who spends large sums of taxpayer money on projects which help very few people. And the reason he gets re-elected is because people incessantly vote along party lines, even though the city has gotten noticeably worse since he took office.
So how does this relate to what you're all talking about?? I dunno, I just needed to vent.
I agree 100%, I love to visit but there's no way I would ever live there again.Originally Posted by bkzwhitestrican
At this pace, the Red Sox will be eliminated before the ring ceremony at the Fenway Opener.
