Better to live next-door to Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty than right around the corner.
The Staten Island street outside Doherty's home was plowed clean on Tuesday - but the dead-end streets on either side of his block remained a snow-choked winter blunderland.
There was similarly smooth sailing across the upper East Side, home to Mayor Bloomberg and Cathie Black, the mayor's choice for schools chancellor.
No surprise there, snow-weary New Yorkers say.
Cabbie Edward Fernandez, the front of his taxi torn off by a Greenwich Village snowbank, wasn't exactly shocked by the disparity in the wake of the 20-inch blizzard.

Government worker- and UNIONIZED government workers, are the best kind of workers there are.
Can’t wait until government workers are running health care!!!
In a just world, the streets where city workers live would be the last streets to be plowed.
Turns out it was intentional:

He must of had tickets to a Broadway show?
Sanitation Department's slow snow clean-up was a budget protest (NYC union thugs)

Actually, this is quite common. When I was married to one of these guys, our street was always clear, if not dry.
I have no problem with the order in which the streets get plowed. However I do have a problem with workers intentionally leaving other streets unplowed because you want to protest. I guess this is what happens when you take morality out of a society...
Hi Just A Nobody,
Interesting how this works ?
Every time
Bloomberg is apparently nothing more than a corrupt billionaire. A minor-league Soros.
Good to "see" you again.
Happy New Year!
It seems all the really big cities are DOOMED to implode, sooner rather than later.
Just browse Detroit ruins.

Time for revisiting of the lessons learned from Ronaldus Magnus versus the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO). Time to build a scaffold and stretch some rope in Foley Square!

Don’t understand.
On March 17, 2002, we got 29 inches in 24 hours, on top of the snow already on the ground. The schools called a snow day because some steets on the hillside were not plowed.
Ya, I know NY is a big city, but to come to a crashing stop over some snow?
I remember that day well, though I would rather forget it.
Good to “see” you again.
Happy New Year!
We just drove to work. Other than the school admin types having the ‘vapors’ - everyone I know went to work.
OTOH, not too many skyscraper here....
