Jason Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Cuomo, out of fucking nowhere, announced he's canceling the L Train shutdown that's been in the works for 3 years now (Sandy remediation work), pulling the very Trumpian stunt of hiring someone (Andy Byford) just so so he can undermine him in public. Then... http://gothamist.com/2019/01/04/cuomo_angry_man_changes_l.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 NYC is responsible for this BS, because they elected Cuomo. I believe they had a fantastic alternative but we're supposed to act like they didn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly is pulling itself up by its bootstraps (did you see our diversity or our new DA?) and NYC wants to hold Alabama's beer or something. Cuomo is a Democratic Donald Trump. There. I said it.

PaladinSolo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 So Cuomo aside, the MTA ultimately decided the only way to fix the tunnel was to redo it as it was 100 years ago, and that meant digging out concrete and running new cables damaged by the saltwater, and because of that it required an extensive environmental study because of all the concrete dust that would have been brought up, and at no point did they have alternatives drawn up till Cuomo stepped in and found they could just leave the old wires and hang the new wires on the existing structure, lol.

The full shutdown is a hundred year fix. This nonsense Cuomo sprang on everyone is a MAYBE 15 year band-aid that will require more shutdowns at that point.

Kal-El814 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Just now, Jose said: Says the guy that lives in Boston. Lol. The worst things Massachusetts has done to the country are Mitt Romney and Red Sox Nation, and we cut one of those things loose. New York reminds the earth it thinks it's special at every opportunity, as in this thread, because god knows people give a fuck about Cuomo anecdotes. 2 minutes ago, Jason said: He doesn't even live in Boston, he lives in one of Boston's shitty suburbs. I'd take living in Somerville over living in any of the 5 boroughs. 2 minutes ago, Jose said: I wonder if he throws a pokeball at minorities whenever he sees one.
