America? They mean Blue Cities in America.

The 10 people riding on the Dallas Subway, when it it isn’t in the ghetto, generally pick up after themselve

It's not "America".

It's New York.

It’s really difficult to build infrastructure when the greens stop you from building anything and all the money to do it is pocketed by our corrupt political class.

I ride the NYC subway all the time and have never seen scenes like those shown in the article. Those photos are wildly unrepresentative of the NYC subways.

I hate being in a position to defend the NYC subway but they are generally clean and safe. Anybody who would like to dispute that can Freepmail me for a private tour of the system next time they are in town. I work just outside Grand Central and will be happy to meet up and give you a taste of what it is really like.

Remember when NYC refused to even shut down the subway overnight to clean all the cars during COVID? It has always been bad, it was just highlighted over the last few years.

NYC Subways are porta potties on wheels and have been for years.

thanks to the recent death of a Jordan Neely

Well, yes, a lot of people are thankful he's down for the dirt nap.

I just looked it up to be certain. New York City owns the subways. What this automatically means is they won’t operate at a profit. No government can operate a business at a profit. There are a variety of reasons, most of which are political. When the IRS seized The Mustang Ranch, a whore house that had been in business for at least 150 years, they tried to operate it to get the money they thought they were owed. They had to close it because, as one Congressman said, “The government can’t even run a business that sells pu$$y and beer.”

It there were two privately owned competing subway lines in New York they’d be beautiful, clean and safe. So, don’t tell me how bad America is because we don’t have public transportation. We don’t have decent public transportation because when the government owns something they will NOT invest in it to make it better. (See Amtrak.) They checked the box, yes, we have public transport. Oh, and by the way it doubles as a home for the homeless and the poor people will all vote for us to keep it cheap.

Kiev was interesting — people sell trinkets, hardware, calendars, etc. between stops.

Maybe it’s just my age but I’ve simply given up on urban areas in the United states. 12 years ago I purchased 32 acres in rural Kentucky and I’ve got my own personal garden of eden. Sure, it takes four and a half hours to mow my 9 acres of wine, but it’s well worth it. It’s like being on a different planet.

Quite frankly, I don’t care what American subways look like. I don’t want to live anywhere near a subway system. In fact, I don’t want to live anywhere near any mass public transportation system.
