De Blasio’s performance grows worse by the day, making NYC unlivable
NY Post ^ | June 27, 2020 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 06/28/2020 1:10:10 PM PDT by EinNYC

In “Here is New York,” a 1949 love letter to his adopted home, author E.B. White declared it a miracle that the city managed to exist at all.

“The whole thing is implausible,” he wrote. “Every time the residents brush their teeth, millions of gallons of water must be drawn from the Catskills and the hills of Westchester.”

This is exactly what I've been telling FReepers for months. DumblASSio is absolutely the last straw for NYC. Everything Goodwin says is extremely true.

My former downstairs neighbors in our co-op apartment just bought a $700K rowhouse a couple of blocks from our former co-op in Queens. For this, they get a driveway accessible from a back alley and a garage also only accessible by a back alley. An 18' wide rowhouse with a 12 x 15' "yard". Three bedrooms but only 1 bath, so they'll have to add one. And I'm sure the property taxes will go UP to pay for the hit the city took from COVID and from the damage done by protesters. Also, the firecrackers have been going on for weeks until 4 a.m. Would YOU have purchased a home now, in Queens?

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!

Again, Whatever else he/she/it wants to do. Just do it and just don't go to church!

What is the difference between “true” and “extremely true?”

It’s the difference between fact and truth.

I fail to follow your answer.

Fuzzy thinking such as yours is the cause of the ignorance plaguing our society.

"Preponderance of the evidence" versus "Beyond a reaonable doubt?"

cities are history...20th century anachronisms.

Their costs rise exponentially as the height goes up.

snce the mid-20th century there is less and less need to concentrate human, material and financial capital on rail lines, roads and waterways-all historical reasons by which cities evolved.

NYC in the 1960’s lost the garment district, the meatpacking district...etc..all that was left was the financial district-and in the last 20 years that finally has moved into the cloud. Floor trading has essentially come to an end. The financial district was all that was left keeping NYC alive and in the game.

No reason at all whatsoever for anybody to need to live there

There is no such thing as “extremely true” or “very true.” There is no such thing as “very unique.” My high school English teacher called those expressions “barbarisms of the English language. Something is true or not true. Unique is something that in one and only one.

We have a nice house and 21 acres of wooded land where we can’t see the neighbors for far less than that.

I cannot FATHOM why someone would want to live in NYC or any other major city, in the conditions mentioned in the article.

You could not pay me enough to do it.

And I bet if he runs for another term he will win by a landslide thanks to no-information voters.

Great Post! Never thought of it that way but I never paid cities (except Rome) much mind!
