"Bloomberg and Doherty also offered a series of excuses for the failed response to the blizzard. They blamed residents for shoveling snow into streets that had already been plowed..."

Sorry, but if the streets had been plowed correctly, the citizens who cleared their cars could not have caused such congestion. Landlords are supposed to keep their sidewalks spotless at all ties least the sanitation cops give them fines. Stop blaming the people who did clean.

In the SUV video, notice how spotless the sidewalk was on the side the SUV was parked. Across the street from it is a park. That sidewalk obviously has not been touched with either a plow or shovel. Landlords keep the city clean, not the sanitation workers.

As to the union dudes who sabotaged the clean-up, do they think they'll get raises and keep their jobs? Where do they think the money is coming from? trees? Landlords are taxes enough already. Unions are thieves.

IIRC, NYC was bailed out by the Feds in 1914 and 1975.

I expect that's where they think the money will come from.

Yup. One can see it in many of the videos. The sidewalks were cleared. The roads were snowy.

Watching the Times Square cam for a couple of days after the blizzard, the sidewalks were cleaned in a timely manner by the business owners, while the streets remained snow covered.

Private residents and business owners did what they were supposed to do. Government did not.
