The tons of mindless wanna be rich and the Actual rich who use the systems the long existed there. they only reason they dont all leave is because they would have to rebuild the stock market somewhere else. and they dont wanna fund that. Actually give them an alternative and they would leave in a heartbeat. of course is the cost of buisness starts getting to expensive due to theft and crime eventually not even that can keep them there so as long as the few main financial megaprojects stay in NYC the city will shamble on like a zombie

I live in Atlanta but visit NYC 2-3 times per year. The last time I used the subway in 2016, a visibly ill homeless man who had crapped in his pants, was sleeping in the subway car. The entire car smelled like a sewer - people walked in, took one sniff, and walked out. Since that day, my wife and I just use Uber. NYC used to be a beacon to the US; now, it exists as a warning. Local elections matter - be careful who you put into power.

The stations came before ADA compliance so now they are slowly converting stations to be accessible but the fact that they have to subcontract with firms to survey their stations for renovation slows their progress by a lot(working with third party etc.,.)along with obvious mishandling of their budget. But I do give them credit because the MTA have converted quite a lot of stations over the years that I frequently used like the 8th avenue and 59th street stations in Brooklyn along the N line. In recent months they sealed off sections of my parents' local F stop at Briarwood to add elevators for accessibility as well. Cash Jordan is a republican shill and grifter that's sensationalizing everything to appear 100x worse than reality, his goal is simply to stoke fear and discontent towards NYC. Not that I am pro-democrat, I'm neither but seeing propaganda like this is infuriating to say the least.

Except the system as it is currently was originally built and designed in the 1940"s. How many public or private pieces of infrastructure do you know that is that old doesn't need massive modernization as you put or just outright completely rebuilt. The problem with the NYC mass transit system is decades old and is primarily the fault of the residents of NYC who refused to pay to keep the system up to date or refused to accept the inconvenience that would be necessary to completely transform the system. To see what NYC needs to do just look at London. Its residents bit the bullet paid for the system to be revamp and dealt with the delays and now have one of the most efficient mass transit systems in the world. Is it perfect no it was made by humans, but it is far superior to what NYC has today.

The 19.8B operating cost is the entire MTA, which runs the buses, several railroads, and the tunnels and bridges. It also ignores operating revenue. The net operating flow is about $8B cost. That's roughly equal to the amount actually contributed by the governments. Considering NYC has 4x the population, it seems pretty reasonable at a glance.

However, they also projected that it will make them so much money, so which means they use the projection as if cars still come in so they never really truly intended for cars not to come in anymore just so they can get the money.

NOPE, we got elections for a new constitution that wasn't approved at the end TWICE (that costs money), the Metro system had to be repaired (more money), and ultimately the same politicians that supported the protests were put in charge of the government (now almost everyone wants them out, which means we wasted more money on them).

I used to do public and private facade renovations in NYC and NJ for a non union company. The reason our public projects cost more than double than private in NJ is for the following reasons: 1. NYC sets the hourly wages per task on public jobs. Lets say you are working on pointer cleaner caulker work and bricklaying. In a non public job you could pay $35-40 an hour for a skilled worker. When I was there, in public work you need to pay about $75 an hour for PCC and $90 for bricklayer. 2: The New York government is very slow to approve change orders. Lets say your job is to replace brick and then you find rusty steel behind it. In private work you put together a quote and you will be working on the change order usually by the end of the week. On public jobs you need to stop for weeks or sometimes months while being forced to maintain your scaffolding, sidewalk shed, employ a site safety manager or coordinator who get paid $150,000 to $350,000 a year, and keep a foreman there with an occasional small crew to deal with small issues. In NJ you don't have a law for site safety manager/coordinator. 3. Permit approvals. In NJ you just need to bring the plans and maybe an additional 2 forms. They ask a small permit fee and it's approved within a week. Anyone can go in and apply for a permit in NJ. In NYC you need to hire an expeditor who is someone legally allowed to apply for permits. They ask you to fill out dozens of forms including noise mitigation, dust mitigation, site safety plan, evacuation map, etc etc. It typically takes 6 weeks to 3 months to get a permit because the expeditors are so backed up with all this paperwork. 4: Trainings: in NJ workers need 10 hour Osha training and supervisors need 30 hours osha training and you are good to go. These cards never expire. In NYC you needed 96 hours of training for scaffold workers. All of these trainings needed renewal after 3,4,5 years or else you get hit by huge fines. And you needed a printed record and employees carrying their training cards at all times. Its a task to manage all of that and to pay for all of the trainings. Maybe 2-3k ust to train up a new hire. And the only useful information came from the scaffolding class. 5: Insurance: I don't know insurance costs in NJ but in NY they passed a recent law which effectively meant our subcontractors and us needed to pay $200,000 a year for insurance for their crew. It didnt matter if you had only a small crew on 1 job or many men on many jobs, that is the additional cost. My undertanding is this law was lobbied under the guise of protecting workers but was just pushed by unions and big contractors to knock out the small companies who were competing against them. 6: injuries/insurance costs. In NYC it is the only place I'm aware of where the employer is 100% liable for any injury and where the payouts are that high. Meaning your worker can show up high to work and then swan dive off the roof and the employer needs to pay all the salary and raises they would have earned for the rest of the life to the family. In most states if an employee is being negligent then the cost of an injury is usually split. This makes insurance crazy expensive in NYC but it does help workers.

Wait - they promote using public transportation over private vehicles but won't invest and maintain them properly? What a scam. The whole reason people use their own vehicles in most places is because public transportation is so bad. When I took the bus to work on days my car was in the shop, it took 30 minutes to go to work and 60 minutes to get home, the latter due to all the LA traffic the bus had to get thru b4 getting to my stop. Driving, it took 15 to 20 minutes both ways on surface streets alone. And the bus stop near my work was always dark and not in the best part of town. The bus only ran once every hour as well. Buses in my area used to run every 20 minutes when they weren't being promoted. WTH?!

When it comes to budgets, both for private and public firms and institutions, there seems to be a tipping point, were efficiency in the use of the budget, turns into bloat and then an inefficiency in the use of the budget, to the point were the budget starts to run out of control. You see this in almost every government project and service. Everything become far more expensive, more studies are conducted for each process that is applied, and waste become endemic within the system, from a management perspective all the way down. Everything takes far longer to carry out, which costs more money, and has more waste, which then need more money to fund the next years budget, which is already behind schedule, which takes longer, costs more, and need more tax to prop-up, which is even more behind.

@@juliecleveland1837 I mean, I've been living in NYC over a decade and counting (not in Manhattan though) and while I've seen plenty of sketchy people, I've never been the victim of a violent crime there. And I'm not a scary-looking person either; I'm a relatively scrawny woman. I used to work in Manhattan too (commuted 1.5 hrs via subway and bus) and still go there pretty often just to hang out and explore restaurants. That's easily the borough where I run into the most nutjobs in the wild, but none of them have done anything to me (let's hope I didn't jinx myself) and they're usually easy to avoid. Manhattan is also the only borough where I've had the lovely fortune of spotting fresh hot turds in the middle of subway walkways. But despite all that it's not total anarchy, the vast majority of people in NYC are genuinely just trying to live a normal life. I think something I do consistently agree with in these videos is that the justice system is way too lenient on violent and repeat offenders, and punishes people who don't deserve it. That, and the migrant situation and congestion pricing situation is a joke. In fact, the leadership here in general is a joke, and before you get any ideas, no I'm not someone who blindly votes Democrat. Or Republican, for that matter

I use public transit here in the Philadelphia area, PA area. Our transit authority is always complaining they are not getting enough money to upgrade and improve the system. As you mentioned all transit agencies need to concentrate on maintain what they already have. If it is not relatively clean, crime free and dependable the public will not support any additional taxes. The federal government has done its part providing matching grants to upgrade both rail and bus equiptment. However little has been done on the local level to hold managers from not wasting money on unnecessary spending. Things like new signaling systems on rail may be desirable but the existing system has worked reliably for years. As to adding capacity the subway ran more frequently years ago with the existing system so why do we need to upgrade to newer computer run systems that fail without notice. Same for new electric busses. People using transit even if run on diesel fuel is more energy efficient than if they drove themselves in private cars.

A "requirement" without enforcement is not a requirement. A law without enforcement is effectively not law. I'm not doing it : )

I'm pretty sure that kind of thinking is considered racist by our overlords.

Almost at a Millie! Well deserved, I really enjoy watching your content. I'm living in downtown Toronto, Canada, but we are dealing with very similar issues as NYC right now.

I know what you mean, Toronto was such a lovely city back in the day, but things have changed so much and mostly for the worse… just really sad to see.

Great video. Keep on sharing the truth. So sad that when people are in charge they can make it happen or not. The people who want to make these changes need to come and ride on the subway endure the late trains, the smell, see the dirt and the homeless people.
